The federal government should, for example, oblige regional churches or sports clubs to introduce protection concepts to prevent abuse. This is what the National Council wants. On Wednesday, it adopted six motions with the same content.
The motions come from six National Councillors from six parties and the five parliamentary groups FDP, Center-EPP, GLP, SP and Greens. The six parliamentarians argue that the protection of children and young people is currently not guaranteed by some organizations.
This was demonstrated by the most recent examples of sexual, physical and psychological abuse in the Catholic Church, in competitive sport and in ballet schools.
Professional measures are now needed for prevention, reporting and crisis management. Organizations must be obliged to take responsibility and invest in structural and process quality.
