Seeking to create
The process grappled with the following questions:
The process was enriched by
Interviews to support movement building and research in the sector
75 in-depth interviews with stakeholders across the globe to identify innovative responses and strategies to end childhood sexual violence (conducted by Solutions Insights Lab )
Capturing voices of emerging leaders across the childhood sexual violence and related sectors
Convening of youth leaders in the sector, across the globe, to secure youth perspectives in the final vision and road map.
Listening to researchers
in the field
The Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) was commissioned to gather the views and insights of researchers on data and evidence related to childhood sexual violence.
Co-creation
The co-creation involved a programme of in-person retreats and online workshops. Members of the visioning team actively engaged their networks to gather more input to the process and build momentum for the vision in the field. Sector insights informed the design of the process at the beginning and throughout. And all knowledge products emerging from the process were openly shared.
Understanding the uniqueness and diversity of all participating stakeholders, inclusion, well-being and creating safe spaces guided the design as well.
To Zero continues to be guided by its values of courage, innovation, taking a worldview and being purposeful.
Getting To Zero
To Zero started the process by commissioning a report to gain a deep understanding of the current landscape.
Getting to Zero: A Review of The Evidence To End Childhood Sexual Violence anaylsed historical and current evidence from across the sector.
Its goal was to make sure everyone helping to develop the To Zero Vision and Roadmap had access to the most relevant frameworks and information on promising developments and persistent challenges.
