May we introduce… our member: the initiative in Switzerland

Jun 21, 2017

The association “Interessengemeinschaft Frau und Museum” in Switzerland was founded by Martha Beéry in 2010 and has set the following goal in its statutes:

„The community of interests woman and museum“ creates a platform to show the not so often presented aspects of history, reality, performances and influences of women in the Swiss society as well as the relationship between the gender.

Some activity’s in the first five years were

2012 Thoughts: “between Memory and Memorials”

2014 “Historical Swiss Women are visible”

FrauenVernetzungsWerkstatt

Action against a month of Swiss-history in the Swiss television “The Swiss” “where we come from – who we are – where we are going to. The action was caused because Swiss TV was unable to show that also women was and are contributing her part in Swiss-history.

After 5 years of working and now having good arguments for the necessity of a women’s museum   to realize an equal society, the association Women and Gender museum in Switzerland was founded in Zürich on 5th January 2017.
