up! is a Swiss-based NGO focused on exposing and eliminating all forms of violence. With no religious or political affiliation, up! is not backed by big money or institutions, but is supported by a deep conviction that there is too much violence against boys and men, and not enough people doing something about it.
up! aims to empower individuals and groups who are victims of violence, while tackling the many injustices associated with violence. up! places special attention on those “outside the system” to reduce marginalization, often a symptom of structural violence or that may ultimately lead to violence within society. We care, we speak out and we take action.
