** Looking back over 2019 ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
This year White Ribbon UK has brought together more people than ever to work towards ending male violence against women. Very sadly, some of the most significant moments of 2019 have been led by the family and friends of women who have lost their lives because of male violence. We take very seriously our duty to build a legacy for every woman whom we have come to know by name, and for all women affected by male violence, by continuing and developing our work to change the male cultures that lead to such abuse. Our male volunteer ambassadors, who are prepared to take a stand, our women champions, and the many accredited and supporting organisations are all critical to us achieving this aim.

** Migrant women are at the highest risk ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
The figures surrounding domestic violence and abuse make for depressing reading. They serve to highlight the inherent inequalities between men and women, with men overwhelmingly responsible for violence towards their spouses and partners, and women overwhelmingly the victims of it.

** Organisations lead the way in ending male violence towards women ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
White Ribbon UK calls upon men to take a stand against male violence towards women. We are also aware that the issue is systemic. That sexist attitudes are present throughout our society, through the media, workplaces, politics and services.

** It’s time men take on the responsibility for ending male violence ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have been given an awareness of the gendered nature of violence in society – in the sense that the vast majority of it is enacted by men – it is something which is difficult to unsee. It starts to become clear that different cases and different forms of violence are actually frequently interconnected, even if they may take place in very different contexts. Newspaper headline after headline starts to tell a specific story, and it is not one of ‘isolated incidents’. They tell a story of attempts to assert, or reclaim, masculine power and control – be that against women, other men, children, animals, the environment…even against ourselves, in terms of the range of self-destructive behaviours that our inability to meet unattainable standards of masculinity can feed into.

** White Ribbon across the world ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, the misogynistic campus shooting in 1989, that led to the forming of the White Ribbon Campaign in Canada, and subsequently, the rest of the world. We would like to introduce some of our White Ribbon partners across the world. All White Ribbon Campaigns are autonomous and have grown and developed to the context in which they operate.

** Considering older victims and survivors - Hannah Bows ([link removed][UNIQID])
------------------------------------------------------------
Violence against women aged 60 and over is an overlooked issue. Despite several decades of research and activism which has raised awareness of the widespread prevalence of violence against women and girls, and contributed to successive legal and policy reforms, older women have been neglected in these developments.
