Alliance F

On the occasion of the creation of the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB), the BSF tried, largely unsuccessfully, to establish the system of separation of the personal, marital and household property, and to improve the status of illegitimate children.

Through collaboration on the housework and factory legislation, the BSF tried to counter the exploitation of female workers; the relationship between housewife and maids has been regulated with treaties.

With the collaboration of national defence (Frauenhilfsdienst, literally military women's service) and commissions for care and nutrition during the Second World War, BSF became the main interlocutor of the federal authorities.

As chief architect of the exhibition, which stood under the motto "Life circle of women in family, occupation, and country", acted Annemarie Hubacher-Constam.

In accordance with the needs of economic and sociopolitical needs, SAFFA promoted the then three-phase model as an 'ideal female curriculum': employment prior to the marriage, motherhood, and return to the labour market.

The Internet platform frauennet.ch proposed the decision to organise a third SAFFA on the occasion of their women picnic brunches on the Swiss national holiday on the Saffa-Island in Zürich.

Alliance F, the Federation of the Swiss women's organizations, prepared a third Saffa and founded the «2020» association for this purpose, and initiated the project «2020 – der weibliche blick auf die zukunft» (literally: 2020 - the female looks to the future).

Since 1970, the BSF had recorded a loss of meaning, which contributed among others the setting of the Swiss woman newspaper (Schweizer Frauenblatt), its press and documentation services, as well as a certain foreclosure over the questioning of traditional gender roles.
