Update zur #Individualbesteuerung: Jede Person in der Schweiz soll eine eigene Steuererklärung einreichen, unabhängig vom Zivilstand. Der Nationalrat hat gestern den Gegenvorschlag zur Steuergerechtigkeits-Initiative gutgeheissen. Next up 👉 die Vorlage geht nun an den Ständerat
Doppelverdiener, die heiraten, bezahlen mehr Steuern. Die Folge: Viele reduzieren ihr Pensum – vor allem die Frauen. Dieses System ist absurd. Die Individualbesteuerung ist der beste Weg, es zu ändern. https://t.co/OtOeZiN2s7

International security is a field of #diplomacy where gender imbalance is persistent, this has an impact on conflict analysis & response. @UNIDIR’s Gender and #Disarmament Programme is making a 🔑 contribution to address the issue & track progress
Ahead of #WomenInDiplomacyDay, let's look at #GenderEquality in arms control 🌐👇 📈 Women diplomats: 34% of participants in forums ⏹ Men outnumber women 4:1 as delegation heads ⏳ 25 years to gender parity at current rate Learn more in our interview with @redalaqua 👩🏼💻⬇️

Modernité. Diversité. Sororité. C’est aussi ça la Suisse ! Qui de mieux pour l’incarner que la Présidente de la Confédération @Violapamherd et les ambassadrices du @EDA_DFAE, réunies à la #BoKo2024!?

A thought-provoking read ⚡️! “Manifestations of hubris — often masked as charisma or charm — are commonly mistaken for leadership potential, and these occur much more frequently in men than in women.” “The best leaders are usually the most humble.”
The barriers women face are a problem, but an even bigger problem may be the lack of barriers faced by mediocre men.

Kicking off the ambassadors conference #BoKo2024 with a sorority spirit ✊! Female ambassadors discuss successes, challenges & vision for an innovative organizational culture. The way to #GenderEquality is long, together we’ll bring it forward! Good for us. Great for the FDFA.
