The Republic of Ireland squad will wear a white ribbon on Monday night when they line out against Denmark in the UEFA European Championship qualifier.
The ribbon is worn to raise awareness about gender-based violence in Ireland.
It comes ahead comes of White Ribbon Day on November 25, a global campaign led by the Men’s Development Network in Ireland, which encourages men to make a pledge never to commit, excuse or remain silent about men’s violence towards women.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) have joined forces with Men's Development Ireland to show their support for the campaign.
On-pitch screens at the Aviva stadium will direct viewers to text line 50300 where they can donate to the campaign and to whiteribbon.ie where they can take the pledge.
The Men’s Development Network is encouraging men across Ireland to take the White Ribbon pledge on or before November 25.
Mark Khan, White Ribbon Engagement Officer at Men’s Development Network said: “The research tells us that each time there is a major sporting event, there is a large spike in domestic violence towards women often when alcohol use collides with a team loss.
“Current statistics reveal a hard truth that more than one in five women have experienced gender-based violence but only 20 per cent of these crimes are reported, yet perpetrators are almost always known to the victim.
"This indicates that women we know – perhaps our family members, our friends, our colleagues - are in need of more support.
“Reports also allow us to identify a correlation between major international sporting events and an increase in the purchase of sex.
"Men may not always know that they are being complicit in sexual violence in these instances and if that is the case, we want to make it clear that these incidents likely involve the exploitation of vulnerable women who have likely been trafficked and are forced to sell sex by criminal elements."
