Vaud: ban on sexist posters planned
The cantonal parliament of Vaud wants to ban sexist posters on public property. On Tuesday, it instructed the government to draft a corresponding law.
A motion by Green MP Sandrine Bavaud was adopted by 82 votes to 30 with 11 abstentions. This affects 177 locations in the canton where posters are displayed. Similar regulations already exist in France and the UK. In Switzerland, the canton of Vaud will play a pioneering role in this respect, said State Councillor Jacqueline de Quattro in the Grand Council. (SDA)
