Racism in Switzerland – The Reality of the Problem

In January 2022, the United Nations Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent spent ten days traveling Switzerland on a fact-finding trip. The Group noted racism and discrimination at almost every level of education and a lack of acknowledgment of Switzerland’s ties to colonialism and slavery. In this online session, we discuss why Switzerland’s legacy of racism and discrimination needs to be addressed and how that discussion allows Swiss society to better combat structural racism.

Speakers: Yvonne Apiyo Brändle-Amolo and Hans Fässler

Here is the video of our first session:
