Action plan

Action plans for the Gender Equality Strategy 2030 and the Istanbul Convention

The aim of the Gender Equality 2030 action plan is to implement the strategy and flesh out the priority measures to achieve the Federal Council's Gender Equality 2030 vision.

In addition to the priority measures for 2021-2023, the Gender Equality 2030 action plan contains new measures from the Confederation that may be implemented up to 2030. 

The ‘gender-specific violence’ area of action in the Gender Equality 2030 action plan also contains the 44 measures in Switzerland's National Action Plan 2022-2026 for the implementation of the Istanbul Convention (NAP IC).

Measures are taken at various levels, and may in particular be the responsibility of the Federal Council, the federal departments and their offices, and the Federal Chancellery. They may also require a decision by Parliament. Some of them, for example, are part of the programme for the 2021-2023 legislature period and will be the subject of separate strategies, action plans or messages from the Federal Council. As they are also pillars for achieving the Gender Equality 2030 vision, these measures are an integral part of the action plan. 

Cooperation with cantons, inter-cantonal bodies, communes and cities

The Confederation invited all the cantons to include their own commitments to gender equality in the Gender Equality Strategy 2030 action plan. Communes and cities have also been involved in the process. This concerns the areas of action ‘working and public life’, ‘work-life balance and family’ and ‘discrimination’.

With regard to the ‘gender-specific violence’ area of action, collaboration between the various levels of government is taking place within the framework of the 2022-2026 national action plan for the implementation of the Istanbul Convention (NAP IC) and the roadmap against domestic violence, which are two of the measures in the action plan of the Gender Equality Strategy 2030. 

Information on measures and implementation status is provided by the entities responsible.
