Changing the power dynamics

As a kick-off of the event, SWAN will be hosting the special screening of “The Case You” at 15:00 on March 19, 2022, at the movie theater KOSMOS in Zurich and via simultaneous streaming. This German documentary tells of six young women who were assaulted during an audition in a Swiss film production.

The projection will be followed by the panel “#MeToo – Changing the Power Dynamics” at 16:30 in the same venue. This talk will provide cross-generational insights on how to create new power dynamics in the workplace. It will be spoken in German and English.

Moderator: Coach and lecturer Monika Schärer
Speakers: Author and director Katja Früh, actress Esther Gemsch, “The Case You” actress Aileen Lakatos and intimacy coordinator Kasia Szustow

Simultaneously, SWAN’s #ch_metoowall will be launched. It is a nationwide anonymous open platform of testimonies, where women affected by sexism and sexual harassment in their workplace, can share their experiences in a protected setting and bear witness. Prosecutor Patrizia Krug, and sexual violence expert, author and consultant for the #ch_metoowall project Agota Lavoyer, will be present to answer questions.

In preparation for this event, SWAN’s executive committee member Lotte Kircher and SWAN’s co-founder and special consultant Gabriel Baur did an interview with Rahel Bains of Tsüri.
