Switzerland's Federal Council is proposing mandatory information days about military and civil defense service for young women. This aims to mirror the existing requirement for men. The proposal, sent for consultation on November 12, 2025, would provide women with detailed insights into service opportunities and career paths. Currently, women can participate voluntarily. This initiative seeks to promote gender equality and potentially increase female participation in defense services. Implementation is targeted for January 1, 2030, pending constitutional and legal amendments.
