White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end gender-based violence, promote gender equity, healthy masculinities and allyship. Our vision is to create a future free of all forms of gender-based violence and discrimination.
Today, boys and young men are growing up in an online world where harmful content normalizes sexism, fuels misogyny, and, in some cases, propels them toward radicalization and incel ideologies. These influences don’t just affect how they view women and girls, but also shapes how they see themselves, their relationships, and their futures.
This research is part of White Ribbon’s commitment to prevention. By shining a light on these challenges, we can equip decision makers, educators, parents, and communities with the tools to transform unhealthy messages and help boys grow up in environments that foster respect, empathy, and equality. Ending gender-based violence begins with how we support and guide our boys and young men.
