White Ribbon Day

Some practical things that men can do to help end violence against women:1 Learn to identify and oppose sexual harassment and violence in your workplace, school and family. 2  Educate yourself and others about masculinity, gender inequality, and the root causes of gender violence. 3 Understand how your own attitudes and actions may perpetuate sexism and violence and work toward changing them.

Men and women are invited to help the HBS community bring awareness to this important issue. On Thursday, March 5th, from 11:30am-1:30pm, stop by the game room of the Spangler Center Grille to pick up a white ribbon and pledge to:1 Change societal attitudes and beliefs that perpetuate and make excuses for violence against women 2 Foster a positive image of masculinity 3 Promote safety and respect in all relationships and situations For more information on White Ribbon Day in Massachusetts or how you can be part of the solution, go to //www.janedoe.org/whiteribbonday or contact Beth Kozik in MBA Student & Academic Services, 617-495-6934, ekozik@hbs.edu.
