Ending Clergy Abuse (ECA) is a global network of human rights defenders and survivors working together to end clergy abuse and impunity.
With members across 21 countries, we advocate for justice, truth, and child protection, demanding accountability from religious institutions worldwide.
We are here to support victims, expose systemic cover-ups, and push for global reforms – because silence protects the abuser, not the child.
Our main goal – Zero Tolerance
Stand Up for Children’s Rights, Sign the Petition “March to Zero Tolerance”
The sexual abuse of children within the Catholic Church remains a global crisis, with countless victims still seeking justice. Pope Francis has long advocated for a “Zero Tolerance” policy, but this principle has yet to be fully implemented.
By signing the petition, you will support a law proposal developed by a coalition of survivors, legal experts, and human rights activists from around the world. This proposal aims to:
- Mandate that church personnel report abuse to civil authorities.
- Ensure the immediate removal of accused clergy pending investigations.
- Provide victims with access to information and files related to their cases.
This initiative is backed by organizations such as Ending Clergy Abuse (ECA), Snap, Bishop Accountability, and Rete L’Abuso. Together, we are calling on Pope Francis to take concrete action and end the systemic abuse that has harmed generations of children.
Your signature will help send a powerful message to the Vatican: it’s time to act. Join us in the March to Zero.
ECA engages in a variety of actions to fulfill its mission:
Accountability
We hold the Roman Catholic Church accountable by providing data, mobilizing public opinion, and pursuing judicial and legislative actions to end clerical abuse and deliver justice to victims.
Support and Empowerment
We support and empower survivors by assisting them in organizing and connecting with local or global organizations to find help and demand justice.
Research and Collaboration
We collaborate with organizations that investigate and research sexual clerical abuse and cover-ups, sharing information and strategies to combat abuse effectively.

Donating is more than giving money—it’s giving strength, visibility, and hope to those who have been betrayed and ignored.
