Social Equality

Sieben Hände von verschiedenen Personen, die zusammen einen Kreis bilden
Volt strives for a society in which all people are equal, have the same rights and opportunities and in which all people can participate. This means that all discrimination against groups and minorities is ended, that poverty is consistently reduced and that the integration and participation of all people in society is ensured as well as that the right to decide over one's own body is guaranteed to everyone.

The 5+1 challenges

Volt has defined 5+1 fundamental challenges that need to be addressed in every European country and in Europe as a whole.

Why 5 + 1 challenges?

The 5 challenges are essentially the same for each country, but their implementation can be adapted at the national level to take into account local circumstances.

Challenge No. +1 - our proposal to reform and strengthen the EU - is identical in all our national programs. Here in Switzerland, our relations with the EU are the focus.
