Just Don't

The #JustDont campaign is here to challenge harassment, promote respect and support young men and boys to be part of positive change. Everyone deserves to feel safe - at school, at work, on a night out or online.

Challenge Your Mates

If you hear or see something that crosses the line, just say something.

You don't have to start an argument. Just speak up, distract or check in with the person affected.

You can find practical advice on calling out inappropriate behaviour safely on White Ribbon's website.

If you're struggling, need to talk or want to better understand your actions, there's support available:
