Roles of Members
As a member you should agree to actively uphold by the Mission, Vision and Principles of the White Ribbon Alliance, as stated here.
The White Ribbon Alliance is a membership led organisation and consists almost entirely of volunteers in 152 countries. The active participation of our members as advocates of maternal and newborn health is crucial to continuing the global fight to end needless maternal deaths.
By taking action you can join members around the world in showing your support for mothers and newborns everywhere. Members are kept up to date on the latest news and campaigns and how to get involved though many members also organize their own fundraising and awareness events.
Here are some examples of the amazing work our members do:
