About us

Who we are

The website digital-violence.info was developed jointly by two organisations: Tech Against Violence and the Public Discourse Foundation.

Tech against Violence

Founded in 2020, the non-profit association Tech Against Violence develops digital solutions to combat violence. Its aim is to close gaps in support services in Switzerland and to give people affected by violence, and those around them, easy and accessible access to information and support.

Close collaboration with specialist services and people with lived experience is central to how these tools are developed, because that is the only way to create solutions that genuinely help.

Public Discourse Foundation

The Public Discourse Foundation is an independent, non-profit foundation based in Zurich, founded in 2023. It grew out of the Stop Hate Speech project and was built in close collaboration with ETH Zurich.

Acting as a bridge between science and society, it combines empirical research, technological innovation and civil society engagement to make digital public discourse more inclusive, free and democratic.
