This year White Ribbon Day was on November 25th.

It is an opportunity to highlight the campaign led by men to combat violence against women and girls. It also acts as the launch pad for the 16 Days of Action.

As that period of action comes to a close, Business First is committed to continue supporting the White Ribbon Campaign throughout the year and we would encourage all Northern Ireland companies to register with White Ribbon NI and work with their employees and clients to raise awareness of the Campaign by taking the White Ribbon Pledge.

We also support the work of the Suzy Lamplaugh Trust who offer practical training in Effective Anti Harrassment Intervention
