The aim of this blog is to publish material (documents, interviews and articles) relevant to the development of women’s rights in Switzerland since 1971. This is a historic date because Swiss women have had political rights since 1971 and have therefore been able to exert a direct influence on the position of women. The blog is intended to give a voice to the women who took part in “1971” and to those who have actively promoted change in the political, legal and academic spheres in the years that followed and to this day. These are many female lawyers and other committed women.
With this material, we would like to encourage in-depth interdisciplinary research into the various aspects, topics and events. The development of women’s rights is not complete in Switzerland either.
This blog is the result of a collaboration between the UZH and the FRI (Swiss Institute for Feminist Legal Studies and Gender Law).
