Femizide – also die Tötung von Frauen aufgrund ihres Geschlechts – werden in der Schweiz gesellschaftlich zunehmend diskutiert, sind aber rechtlich bisher nicht klar definiert. Wie ist der aktuelle strafrechtliche Umgang mit solchen Taten? Welche Strukturen begünstigen geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt? Und braucht es einen eigenen Straftatbestand?
In einer offenen Q&A-Session mit Prof. Dr. Nora Markwalder, Professorin für Strafrecht, Strafprozessrecht und Kriminologie an der Universität St. Gallen, sprechen wir über rechtliche Grundlagen, systemische Ursachen und mögliche politische Handlungsfelder.

Join us on May 22 for a new edition of Think & Drink at Floky la Loutre (Rue de Carouge 44, Geneva). This time we're zooming in on children education in remote areas. Together, we’ll explore how multilateralism, local agency, and decolonising knowledge can help build more inclusive and just education systems. How can we elevate these voices and ensure that their needs are heard globally?
Education is an universal right but millions of children, particularly in remote and marginalised communities or living with disabilities, still face major barriers to accessing quality education. These challenges are often overlooked in global agendas, raising key questions about inclusion, representation, and local agency.
While international efforts promote universal goals, they can rely on standardised models that ignore diverse local realities. This event invites us to reflect: Who defines quality education? Whose voices are heard? And how can global cooperation truly support — rather than override — local solutions?
We're thrilled to welcome Kirstin Lange, Programme Specialist for Disability Inclusive Humanitarian Action at UNICEF, who will share insights on the challenges and opportunities in inclusive education. Andrew Cunningham, Global Lead for Education at the Aga Khan Foundation, who will offer insights from their programs and expertise in promoting inclusive, quality education in diverse and often remote settings. Rafael Huber, co-founder of Altai Blue Horizon, an NGO focused on enhancing educational opportunities in marginalised contexts, who will contribute to the discussion by highlighting the situation of nomadic children.
Together, we’ll reflect on:
- the lived experiences of children in nomadic and rural communities;
- how international education models often overlook local realities
- the role of multilateralism in supporting—not overriding—local agents
- the urgent need to decolonise knowledge and diversify voices in global education
Curious? Join us on Thursday, May 22 from 7 pm to 8:30 pm to be part of the discussion!
