As of this month, we are delighted to host the To Zero initiative.
As To Zero reports, Global estimates indicate that 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 7 boys experience some form of sexual violence while growing up. Faced with this alarming reality, To Zero takes on the mission of building a world in which every child can grow up safe, by bringing sexual violence down “to zero”. In that respect, the initiative is dedicated to uniting and strengthening organizations across the field by helping build their capacity and communication infrastructure. By equipping these actors with the tools to amplify their voices, To Zero aims to expand their impact, both locally and globally.
Swiss Philanthropy Foundation is proud to contribute to this essential cause and to facilitate the work of those who fight every day to protect tomorrow’s generation.
To learn more about this field, To Zero invites you to listen to the podcast ‘Ending Sexual Abuse Against Children’, produced by the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria. This episode features Seán Coughlan, director of the To Zero Fund.
