Shortcomings in accommodation provision for victims of violence

Bern, 25.06.2025 — Despite an increase in the number of places in emergency accommodation and shelters for victims of violence in Switzerland, the current situation is not sufficient to meet the growing demand for support. At its meeting on 25 June, the Federal Council adopted a report expressing concern about this situation. It encourages the efforts announced by the cantons to provide sufficient accommodation in the various regions and adapted to the specific needs of different population groups.
