How to Use the Ribbon Toolkit: Turning Awareness Into Action
The purple ribbon is more than a symbol—it’s a commitment. A commitment to end silence, to honor lives lost to gender-based violence, and to bring healing and action into our communities. The Sahra Bulle Foundation’s Ribbon Toolkit was created for exactly that purpose: to help you turn awareness into meaningful action.
Whether you're a survivor, an advocate, a teacher, a frontline worker, or a community organizer, this toolkit gives you simple, powerful ways to spark change.
💜 What’s in the Toolkit?
The Ribbon Toolkit is a free, digital resource packed with practical tools to help individuals and organizations bring the campaign to life. Inside, you’ll find:
Printable tip sheets for survivors, families, and frontline workers
Workshop guides and facilitator notes
QR-code-ready signs for ribbon installations
Story-based videos and podcasts
Social media content and captions
A direct link to order ribbons and lawn/window signs
Each resource is designed to be accessible, trauma-informed, and easy to use across different settings.
🛠️ How to Use the Toolkit in 5 Simple Steps
1. Purchase Your Ribbon or Awareness Sign
Visit the campaign page to order your purple ribbon or lawn/window sign. Display it at your home, school, business, or organization to take a visible stand against gender-based violence.
2. Share the Message
Each ribbon and sign includes a QR code linking to our digital toolkit. Hang your sign somewhere visible to invite others to scan, learn, and act.
3. Host a Ribbon Workshop or Community Gathering
Use the included facilitator guides to host a discussion, workshop, or storytelling session. These can be formal events or informal conversations that build connection and awareness.
4. Spread the Word Online
Use the provided captions, graphics, and hashtags to post on social media. Your post might reach someone who’s never heard this message before—and who needs it.
5. Invite Others to Join the Movement
Encourage friends, family, and local organizations to order their own ribbon or sign. Every visible display helps build a culture that refuses to stay silent.
🌍 Why This Matters
Too many lives have been lost. Too many survivors are still waiting to be heard. The Ribbon Campaign is a community-driven promise to break the silence, honor lives lost, and build a future rooted in justice and care.
This isn’t just awareness—it’s action.
