Women’s Session 2021

Fifty years after women’s suffrage, 246 women sit in the Federal Palace for the Women’s Session. Alain Berset recalls that until 1971, “die älteste Demokratie der Welt” was not a real democracy but a men’s power.

The pandemic threatens to set equality back: “Die Coronakrise ist vor allem eine Krise der Frauen.”
