‘We Speak Up’ against gender-based violence and abuse

This year, the United Nations’ 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence campaign is highlighting the abuse women all over the world are facing online. From misogynistic comments to verbal abuse, deep fakes and lies, and from open harassment to cyberstalking – the list is endless, leaving real marks on victims in real life.

In support of the 2025 White Ribbon Day theme ‘We Speak Up’, we have asked some of the men we work with to share their thoughts and reflections on what ‘speaking up’ means to them. We asked our male colleagues, our service users, partners, and trustees and have collated all contributions on this virtual wall.

We would love for you to add your own comments and thoughts, or perhaps you want to share a song, a quote or an image that has inspired you over the years to speak up!
