A Skellefteå Free from Violence

Zero tolerance for violence starts with us - come and show that you care!

At Guldtorget, you can:

• Show that you care by displaying a symbol in support of a Skellefteå free from violence.
• Watch short theatre performances by Estet Theatre.
• View an exhibition of posters from previous years’ campaigns, produced by the Media Programme.
• Meet organisations working to prevent violence and support those at risk.
• Test your knowledge in a quiz.

As part of A Week Free from Violence, we want to highlight everyone’s responsibility to prevent and combat violence.

We all have a responsibility for how we treat one another. By speaking out, reacting when someone is being harmed and refusing to accept abuse or assault, we can work together to create a Skellefteå where all forms of violence are combated and more people can feel safe.

Sweden has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy towards lethal violence against women, but the work towards a society free from violence begins much earlier – with ourselves and our determination never to accept violence.

A 'zero vision' begins with a personal zero tolerance in each and every one of us. We must never excuse, accept or turn a blind eye to violence. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to a society where consideration, moral courage and respect are valued.

Pop along to Guldtorget, pick up a symbol there and display it to show that you say no to violence!
