Save the Lesbian Lobby!

Help the Lesbian Organisation Switzerland (LOS) overcome its financial struggles.

The Lesbian Organization Switzerland (LOS) fights politically for lesbians, bisexuals, and queer women. For 35 years, we have been convincing members of Parliament in the Federal Palace to support our cause. LOS is the only national voice for lesbians, bisexuals and queer women. Now, our crucial work is at risk: We are facing a deficit of more than 40,000 francs in 2024. Our next major funding from foundations won’t arrive until 2025, which is why the lesbian lobby urgently needs your help!

We need to be louder than ever!

In recent years, LOS has grown, and we now fund three positions. However, these positions are not secured for the long term—and we have much more to achieve. We aim to build on our past successes, like the anti-discrimination bill or the marriage equality law. We want to ban conversion attempts on a national level, work with other organizations to improve mental health within the LGBTIQA+ community, and continue being a strong voice for lesbians, bisexuals and queer women. In these times of backlash against the entire LGBTIQA+ community, our voices need to be louder and stronger than ever. We want to continue our work, fighting proudly and upholding our feminist values. Will you help us?

Why this crowdfunding campaign?

Unlike in some EU countries, queer organizations in Switzerland are not supported by the federal or cantonal governments. LOS is still mainly funded by donations and membership fees. As an organization for lesbians, bisexuals, and queer women, we are underfunded and currently facing a financial crisis. That’s why the lesbian lobby needs you now! Choose a reward and help LOS continue its vital work.
