Allies Pledge
The Boys as Allies Pledge is a public commitment to fostering a world free from gender-based violence. By signing, you’re taking a stand for equality, respect, and healthy relationships—and showing that preventing violence is everyone’s responsibility.
This pledge isn’t just symbolic. When you add your name, you help strengthen a growing movement that challenges harmful gender norms and promotes positive masculinity. Your support shows decision-makers, educators, and community leaders that these values matter—and that people are ready to take action.
Signing the pledge also helps us continue our work: it demonstrates public support for the educational programs, policy advocacy, and prevention efforts we lead across schools, workplaces, and communities.
