Twelve associations, organisations and institutions signed the Charter for the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Other Boundary Violations in Bern on 25 November 2011 and presented it to the media. They call for a zero-tolerance policy and focus primarily on employees and strengthening people with special support needs. Their most important message is: «We are watching! And together.» 

The undersigned associations, institutions and organisations are committed to the following principles for the prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and other boundary violations. The principles apply to all persons who work or are supervised in our institutions and organisations.
