CURRENT PROJECTS

Neighbours, Friends & Families: Engaging Immigrant and Refugee Communities

Launched in 2006, the NFF campaign was a component of the government’s domestic violence action plan and in direct response to recommendations of the Chief Coroner’s Domestic Violence Death Review Committee.  In partnership with the Arab Community Centre of Toronto, and OCASI, White Ribbon is leading a 1-year project, starting in March 2018 to engage immigrant and refugee communities, including Syrian male-identified youth and adults to prevent gender-based violence and engage with the NFF campaign. Together we will identify 10-15 male allies/champions to facilitate awareness-raising events in the community. To learn how you can support the project, contact Kaoutar Kaddouri, Community Engagement Manager.  The project is funded by the Ministry of the Status of Women.

Draw-the-Line

​White Ribbon is one of the partners of the Draw-the-Line campaign created by OCRCC and AOcVF. Draw-the-Line is an interactive campaign that aims to engage Ontarians in a dialogue about sexual violence. The campaign challenges common myths about sexual violence and equips bystanders with information on how to intervene safely and effectively. Draw the Line will educate Ontarians on how to spot sexual violence and empower them to make a difference. One in three Canadian women will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. It is time for Ontario to draw the line. We must work together to make our communities safer.
