White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. Starting in 1991, we asked men to wear white ribbons as a pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls. Since then the White Ribbon has spread to over 60 countries around the world. We work to examine the root causes of gender-based violence and create a cultural shift that helps bring us to a future without violence. Our vision is for a masculinity that embodies the best qualities of being human. We believe that men are part of the solution and part of a future that is safe and equitable for all people.

All designed to facilitate recovery for those in need. Coast clients form a thriving community of people working each day to overcome illness, adversity and stigma. We have seen many individuals move from unemployment, homelessness, being hungry and alone, to finding jobs, homes, food and a community of people who care.
