This Saturday, Sky Sports will be showing their commitment to ending men’s violence against women and girls by having their presenters wear white ribbons in support of White Ribbon Day, the internationally recognised day for men to demonstrate their year-long commitment to ending violence against women and girls.
White Ribbon UK, the charity engaging men and boys to stop violence before it starts, is encouraging individuals, particularly men, to #ChangeTheStory for women and girls so they can live free from the fear of violence.
Anthea Sully, Chief Executive at White Ribbon UK, said: “Sports is an important space where men and boys explore how to express themselves. This is a space where they can learn how to be disciplined, care for others and work as part of a team. It is so important that broadcasters and presenters, who many men and boys look up to, call for better from their peers and prioritise the safety of women and girls.”
To show your support of White Ribbon Day, Sky Sports and White Ribbon UK are inviting members of the public to wear a White Ribbon and make the White Ribbon Promise to never use, excuse or remain silent about men’s violence against women.
