On the way to equal pay

The Charter for equal pay in the public sector was launched five years ago. Since then, many cantons, cities, municipalities and state-associated organisations have intensified their commitment to equal pay. A new publication now presents examples from various administrations and companies throughout Switzerland and serves as inspiration and a guide to ensure that the promise of equal pay is finally kept.

In focus

All topics

Equal pay platform

The equal pay platform provides the main facts, gives employees and employers tips on how to make equal pay a reality and contains information on the public sector's commitment.

Violence

Since 2003 the Violence Prevention Service has been working under the mandate of the Federal Council to support and develop measures to prevent violence, in particular violence against women and domestic violence.

The law

In Switzerland equality between men and women is now well established, on paper at least. However, in reality there are still significant gaps in gender equality.
