Feminist Manifestation In Geneva, Gr'Ve Des Femmes

This footage was filmed and produced on 14 June 2020. Nearly 30 years after staging a first nationwide strike for equal pay, women across Switzerland say they are preparing fresh action to push for wage parity next week. On June 14, 1991 -- 10 years after equality between the sexes was enshrined in the Swiss constitution -- half a million women walked out of their workplaces or homes to protest persistent inequalities. Three decades on, however, unions and rights groups say things have barely improved. They are calling on Swiss women to join a fresh strike, again on June 14, to demand "more time, more money, more respect". Women in Switzerland on average still make 20 percent less than men. And for men and women with equal qualifications, the wage gap remains nearly eight percent, according to the national statistics office. Filmed by Leila (Footage by StringersHub via Getty Images)
