International scientific evidence makes it very clear that Zero Violence is possible with bystander intervention, the intervention of all members of an institution or group from the first sign of a potential abuse of power, labor, or sexual abuse. CREA’s Zero Violence Committee cannot replace the one formed by all its members, but it can make their detention and action more dynamic. With this purpose, on October 30, 2024, the Committee was formed by people with experience in this type of commission in important international institutions and in our universities.
