Fondation pour l'égalité de genre

What Fondation pour l'égalité de genre does

The Fondation pour l'égalité de genre (FEG) is a Swiss non-profit feminist foundation established in 2022 in Geneva (formerly operating as Maison des femmes*). The foundation operates along four interdependent strategic axes: La Collective (an intergenerational and solidarity-based housing and community space for women in central Geneva, in development), L'Observatoire (a research and monitoring initiative on gender equality in Switzerland), Le plaidoyer et la sensibilisation (advocacy and awareness-raising targeting legislative and normative change in Geneva and Switzerland), and Le soutien au réseau féministe (coordination and capacity-building for the Réseau femmes*, a network of 15 feminist associations in French-speaking Switzerland). It serves women and gender minorities in Switzerland — with a primary focus on the Geneva region — alongside the associations that support them.

FEG's product surface is content- and community-oriented rather than technology-based. Public outputs include the monthly #ActuÉgalité newsletter covering Swiss gender equality news (e.g., May and June 2026 editions), the Guide d'autoprotection numérique pour une riposte collective et féministe (May 2026, a pilot tied to La Collective's urban canvas campaign), the Fanzine 'Déconstruire le validisme' (June 2026), and La Journée des associations féministes (first edition held May 15, 2025 at Palais Anna et Jean-Gabriel Eynard in Geneva, attracting 96 participants from 6 cantons). Distribution is via a website blog, monthly email newsletter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

The foundation operates as a non-profit with no disclosed revenue figure; funding is implied to come from grants, donations, and partnerships. Strategic partners include L'Effet Papillon (delivering the café-restaurant component of La Collective) and the broader Réseau femmes* network of 15 associations. Headcount stands at 11 employees with offices at Bd des Philosophes 20, 1205 Genève (headquarters) and Rue de Lyon 91, 1203 Genève (temporary address). No parent company, subsidiaries, funding rounds, or management team composition are disclosed in the source material.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• UN Women: United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women globally. Operates at a much larger scale with broader scope, but shares the same core mission of advancing gender equality and produces research/advocacy outputs that are referenced by FEG.
• European Women's Lobby: Largest umbrella organization of women's associations in the European Union, coordinating national coalitions and conducting advocacy at EU level. Comparable to FEG as a feminist network-coordination and advocacy body, but at pan-European scale.
• Amnesty International Switzerland: Swiss section of the global human rights organization with active women's rights and gender equality programmes. Comparable to FEG as a Geneva-based advocacy organization publishing research and conducting policy campaigns, though with broader human rights scope.
• Human Rights Watch: International human rights organization producing research and advocacy on women's rights globally. Comparable to FEG's L'Observatoire axis in particular, sharing the data-driven advocacy model for gender equality issues.

Regional players

• SOS Femmes: Swiss federation providing shelter, support, and advocacy for women experiencing domestic violence. Operates in the same Swiss/Geneva space as FEG with overlapping gender-based violence focus, though with a more specialized direct-services model.
• Terre des Femmes (France): French feminist NGO advocating for women's rights and gender equality through campaigns, advocacy, and direct support services. Similar advocacy-driven mission and publication cadence, with comparable organizational scale and structure.
• Solidarités Femmes: French national federation of associations fighting gender-based violence and promoting women's rights. Comparable to FEG as a feminist network-coordination body supporting multiple member associations, though operating in France rather than Switzerland.
• Bureau de l'égalité de Genève: Geneva cantonal government office responsible for promoting gender equality and combating discrimination. Operates in the same geographic territory as FEG with overlapping gender-equality objectives, though as a public-sector body rather than a civil-society organization.

Direct peers

• Alliance F: Swiss national feminist alliance coordinating associations, conducting policy advocacy, and supporting women's rights projects across Switzerland. Highly comparable to FEG's mission and network-coordination role, but at a national level.
• WECF (Women Engage for a Common Future): International network of feminist organizations working on gender equality, environmental justice, and sustainable development. Comparable to FEG in operating as a federation of associations with advocacy and capacity-building functions, with a similar European footprint.
