Glasgow Kelvin College White Ribbon Status Campaign
Glasgow Kelvin College was awarded White Ribbon Status in 2017, having worked to involve more men in addressing violence against women issues. The Project involved raising awareness of what violence against women in all its forms, increasing gender equality and encouraging students and staff to sign the White Ribbon Scotland pledge, “I pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women in all its forms”, and the need to change attitudes and behaviour if we hope to live in a society without violence against women.
With the strong support of the Glasgow Kelvin College Student’s Association, the original project’s success in achieving the Status Award was further acknowledged with an NUS Scotland Award, a National Green Gown Award, and commendation at the International Green Gown Awards in New York, which recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives by universities and colleges worldwide.

You can sign the White Ribbon pledge “Never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women in all its forms”.
After you sign it please consider an early example of your declaration to ‘not remain silent’ about violence against women by telling someone today that you signed the pledge and be proud you have done so – then encourage them to do the same.
