On Friday, one of the biggest strikes in Switzerland will take place, in efforts to highlight the massive inequalities that still exist between men and women. The Grève des Femmes, or Women’s Strike, is calling on anyone and everyone who believes there is still a long way to go in terms of equality to come and participate–there are events happening all day on June 14, but the manifestation begins at 18h at Saint Francois, with a quick stop at the gare to join forces with participants from THE ENTIRE CANTON OF VAUD. After the march, at 20h at L’Arsenic Bar, there will be dancing, food trucks, and celebration as we hope for a just and empowered future for all. This is going to be huge. So if you want to be a part of history, grab face paint, a sign, and join us as we stand in solidarity for women here in Switzerland, (and all around the world). Find more information about the movement here.
