White Ribbon Day

Denbighshire County Council and Denbighshire Leisure Ltd is proudly supporting White Ribbon Day 2025, the global movement encouraging men and boys to take a stand against violence towards women and girls.

This year’s theme ‘We Speak Up for Change’ focuses on promoting healthy relationships, challenging harmful behaviours, and empowering men to speak up when they see or hear something that isn’t right. The Council is reaffirming its commitment to creating safer communities and fostering a culture of respect across Denbighshire.

We encourage everyone to wear white ribbons and make the White Ribbon Promise - to never use, excuse, or remain silent about violence against women and girls.

White Ribbon Day is held on Tuesday 25 November, and Denbighshire Leisure Ltd will be lighting up their buildings and landmarks to raise awareness.

Jamie Groves, Managing, Director of Denbighshire Leisure, said: “We are proud to light up our buildings for White Ribbon Day.

“Speaking out, challenging language or behaviour, and being an active ally can make a real difference.

“Here in Denbighshire, we are committed to supporting all those affected and working with partners to make our communities safer for everyone.”

Councillor Rhys Thomas, Lead Member for Housing and Communities, said:

“As a Council we’re proud to support White Ribbon Day and the message it carries and working towards ending domestic abuse will always be high on our agenda.

“We will continue to work alongside North Wales Police and our partners to ensure we do all we can to protect our residents from having to live in fear of violence.

“It’s also important to remember that men can also experience domestic abuse and I encourage everyone to join us in making the White Ribbon Promise and standing up for respect, equality, and safety.”
