The legal and factual equality of LGBTIQ people in the city of Berne in every area of life.
Policy
The City of Berne is actively pursuing the equality of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people. To this end, it extended the mandate of its Office for Gender Equality and created a new project leader position in 2018. The mandate includes promoting equality both within the municipal administration as well as encouraging equal rights in the population at large. The legal and factual equality of LGBTIQ people is manifested in the Action Plan 2019-2022, which specifies measures to promote the equality of women and men and LGBTIQ people.
