Every day, an average of 100 people affected by violence in Switzerland seek advice from victim support centers, said the SP women at the party conference in Davos on Saturday. Three out of four people receiving advice are female. However, many victims do not seek help.
In a resolution, the Social Democratic Party therefore calls on the cantons and the federal government to create sufficient shelters and advice centers. Furthermore, these services should be publicized nationwide so that those seeking help can make use of them. And finally, access to these support services should be low-threshold and non-discriminatory.
