It also offers services and supports programs promoting the career of women*.
Events
Since 2016, SWAN – Swiss Women’s Audiovisual Network has organised and participated in a number of keynotes and round tables to discuss and inform around different issues pertaining to gender equality and diversity in the audiovisual industry.
Actions
Working as an interest group, SWAN – Swiss Women’s Audiovisual Network initiates studies, develops tools and offers incentives to public authorities and players in the industry to accelerate change. To keep track, it also produces audio and video recordings.
Services
While progress has been made, women* continue to face barriers when it comes to incomes, career advancement and safety in the workplace. SWAN – Swiss Women’s Audiovisual Network makes a point of supporting their professional path. Among other projects, the association has launched the Office for Equality and Diversity in the Swiss audiovisual industry as well as the very first online inventory of women* working in the audiovisual sector to provide them with useful tools and grant them more visibility.
Both projects have been created thanks to the support of the Federal Office of Gender Equality and Migros Culture Percentage. SWAN Directory has received an additional essential support from Müller-Möhl Foundation.
