VOLOGDA (Interfax-Northwest) — A White Ribbon action was held in Vologda Region on Monday, September 3 under the Gender Equality and Masculinity project, the regional government's press Service reported.
The action aims to end male violence against women. "A man wearing a white ribbon commits himself not to subject women to violence, and not to justify or silence facts of violence against women," the press service said.
The first such action was held in Canada in 1991, when 100,000 men wore white ribbons.
