Call to Men: Promote Gender Equality and Prevent Violence

FY 2020-21 · 2021-02-08

Summary
This 18-month project will support the development, implementation and evaluation of a social marketing campaign, featuring compelling calls to action to inspire men and boys across Canada to change their attitudes and behaviours, to seek help when needed, and to embrace their roles as allies and change makers. Key products to be developed include a dedicated webpage, an overall call to action with a list of actions men and boys can do, a digital video and social media assets/media buys. White Ribbon will also work to engage youth (especially young men) in their communities to build their capacity to challenge rigid gender norms and stereotypes. Through a targeted youth engagement strategy (e.g., social media, workshops, events), youth will add their voices and increase the dialogue to influence their peers to address harmful gender norms, attitudes and behaviours. The National Youth Working Group will provide input into the targeted plan and contribute to its broad activation. A feminist Advisory Committee and collaboration with women’s groups will ensure accountability. Campaign messages will be amplified through our partnerships and will provide a further avenue to support survivors of gender-based violence, in this unique time of global crisis.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 18 mois appuiera l’élaboration, la mise en œuvre et l’évaluation d’une campagne de marketing social comportant des appels à l’action convaincants visant à encourager les hommes et les jeunes hommes du Canada à changer leurs attitudes et leurs comportements, à demander de l’aide au besoin et à jouer leur rôle d’allié et d’acteur du changement. Les principaux produits qui seront élaborés comprennent une page Web dédiée, un appel à l’action général proposant une liste de mesures que les hommes et les jeunes hommes peuvent prendre, une vidéo numérique, et des actifs de médias sociaux et l’achat d’espace dans les médias traditionnels. La campagne du ruban blanc servira également à mobiliser les jeunes (surtout les jeunes hommes) dans leur collectivité afin qu’ils renforcent leur capacité de remettre en question les normes et les stéréotypes rigides en matière de genre. Au moyen d’une stratégie ciblée de mobilisation des jeunes (p. ex. médias sociaux, ateliers, événements), les jeunes pourront s’exprimer et élargir le dialogue pour inciter leurs pairs à s’attaquer aux normes, aux attitudes et aux comportements préjudiciables en matière de genre. Le Groupe de travail national des jeunes contribuera à l’élaboration du plan ciblé et à sa mise en application à grande échelle. Un comité consultatif féministe et la collaboration avec des groupes de femmes permettront d’assurer la responsabilisation. Les messages de la campagne seront amplifiés grâce à nos partenariats et fourniront un autre moyen de soutenir les survivantes de violence fondée sur le sexe pendant la crise mondiale sans précédent que nous traversons.
