Celebrating Zero Tolerance's 30th

Today we commemorate 30 years of campaigning to end men's violence against women. Our vision is of a Scotland free from violence. To achieve that we need to build a movement where all women feel safe, particularly those marginalised by society, who are at greatest risk of men’s violence.

Today’s event focuses on the violence faced by some of these women.

We wish to create a safe and supported environment for all our guests and so have asked all participants to support us in this aim by refraining from discussions of the definition of a woman and single sex spaces in relation to the gender recognition act.

We understand that as feminists we have strong opinions on these subjects. But this is not what this event is about.

Instead, we would like to focus on how we can integrate prevention work across Scotland, engage in meaningful partnership work, and celebrate 30 years of our organisation working to create a Scotland free from violence against women and girls.
