December 9, 2022 – White Ribbon USA is delighted to announce the launch of the first official US National White Ribbon Day on Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. The event organized by Dr.Angelo McClain CEO National Association of Social Workers NASW supported by the US Department of VA and attended by top government officials and other dignitaries who showed solidarity in the fight to end gender-based violence and discrimination towards women.

President of the United States delivered a statement with a similar stance on the Occasion of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. According to the US government, gender-based violence continues to impact millions of women, girls, and marginalized people around the world, particularly in areas of democratic backsliding, conflict, and instability. The leader of the free world reaffirmed America’s support for women currently suffering human rights violations in Russia, Ukraine, and Iran, while also reiterating the need for more action in ensuring the liberation of women all over the world.

“We still have more to do. No one should live under the threat of violence. No one should go through their life fearing violence, abuse, and persecution. That is our ultimate goal, and my Administration will continue to lead this work at home and around the world.” – the US government.
