Zero Tolerance
Charity registered in Scotland SC023484
Zero Tolerance is a Scottish charity working to end men’s violence against women by tackling its root cause: gender inequality.
We began in 1992 with a ground breaking and radical Edinburgh-based poster campaign. The campaign successfully brought the issue of violence against women out from behind closed doors and into public consciousness by asserting that violence against women is never acceptable.
Our Vision: A Scotland free of men’s violence against women and girls. Our core belief is that men’s violence against women is preventable and should not be tolerated.
