Swiss Federal Council Proposes Legislative Alternatives to Inclusion Initiative for Disability Equality
The Swiss Federal Council has rejected the Inclusion Initiative for disability equality proposed by advocacy groups but has introduced a legislative package aimed at providing swift improvements. Planned measures include the construction of more accessible housing, an increase in the IV assistance contribution, and legal recognition of sign language. These changes aim to address key concerns of the initiative without the lengthy process of constitutional amendments. The proposals will be discussed by Parliament in the coming months.
