Associations

Geneva

SWISSAID Geneva, set up in September 2006, is an independent association within the meaning of the Swiss Civil Code, with its head office in Geneva. It makes an active contribution to the voluntary sector in Geneva.

The SWISSAID Geneva Association works to inform and raise awareness among the public in Geneva. It alerts people to major global challenges – such as the transparent management of oil revenues and food sovereignty – and gives a voice to representatives of countries in the South.

In Geneva’s international environment, the SWISSAID Geneva Association makes the most of synergies with other key players in development and North-South relations. Although legally independent, SWISSAID Geneva works closely with the SWISSAID Foundation on specific issues and on projects in the countries of the South.

Better than clenching your fist!

Membership of the SWISSAID Geneva Association means:
– participating in exciting projects that deal with the North-South problem.
– using your professional and personal skills, your time and spirit of enterprise to help build a fairer world.

We would be delighted to welcome you as a new member. You will find us at: Association SWISSAID Geneva, Ch. des liserons 3, 1212 Grand Lancy, PC account 17-651655-5.

Gender-based violence: paths of resistance and healing

As part of the ‘16 Days Against Violence Against Women’ campaign, SWISSAID and the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Bern organised a public event in Bern on the topic of violence against women in Colombia and Ecuador. The programme was varied and exciting, featuring video reports, the results of a study and a panel discussion with experts who addressed the causes of violence, the role of women’s organisations and research.
