If you have done some of the simple actions and you are interested in getting more involved, why not set up a local white ribbon group? This could take any form depending on your skills and experience and the local context.
You could start by trying to get a small group of interested men together to talk about the issue. You might want to begin by focusing on organising a local event together such as an activity involving men for the next 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence (25th November - 10th December).
