Network for Women’s and Gender Equality History
Together with a group of organisations based across Switzerland, the Gosteli Archive founded the association "Network for Women’s and Gender Equality History" in the summer of 2025. From April 2026, the Federal Office of Culture will support the association with an annual grant. Our mission is to establish a nationwide centre of excellence for women’s and gender equality history, aimed at a broad audience.
