Swiss women stage mass scream to demand equal treatment

Guardian, 15 Jun 2020
Women across Switzerland let loose with screams during a national strike, demanding an end to violence at the hands of men and equal treatment in the wealthy Alpine country. 'I scream for me, but I also scream for my sisters and brothers,' said Geneva resident and protester Roxanne Errico. 'I scream for all the other children who lost a mother or a father, and I also scream for my mother, who would have screamed if she was still here.' Despite its high quality of life, Switzerland lags other developed economies in women's pay and workplace equality.
