¡No más violencia, no más silencio!

Friends of the Earth International has established a commitment and a corresponding institutional policy to eliminate sexual violence and harassment within its federation. The organization views violence as a tool of patriarchal control that disproportionately affects marginalized groups, including Black, Indigenous, migrant, and LGBTQ+ women. To combat this, the federation adopts a 'zero tolerance' approach based on five core principles: zero tolerance, prevention, survivor-centricity, confidentiality/protection, and transparency. The document emphasizes prevention through political training and the creation of safe spaces to dismantle patriarchal power structures and ensure an environment where violence is neither normalized nor tolerated.

• Friends of the Earth International defines violence and the threat of violence as mechanisms of control used to maintain patriarchal power dynamics, noting that women face institutionalized, domestic, sexual, verbal, and psychological violence, as well as harassment and persecution, when they deviate from naturalized roles.
• The organization highlights that violence is particularly acute for specific marginalized groups, including Black women, Indigenous women, working-class women, migrants, lesbians, bisexuals, and trans and non-binary people.
• The federation's institutional Policy on Sexual Violence and Harassment is built upon five fundamental guiding principles: zero tolerance for violence, prevention, a survivor-centered approach, confidentiality and protection, and transparency, effectiveness, and established deadlines.
• Prevention is identified as the primary method for responding to sexual violence and harassment, utilizing political training, capacity building, the creation of safe spaces, and institutional practices to dismantle the patriarchy and challenge power relations within the federation.
