More than half of Swiss schoolchildren are undergoing some sort of therapy in an effort to solve learning problems.
That is far too many, according to the authors of a recently-published book on children with learning difficulties. They say that parents, teachers and doctors have unrealistic expectations of children.

A Struggle For Parents
“Parents are the filter for these various demands, but I think a lot of parents struggle to determine what’s truly necessary for their child’s development and which targets must be met to ensure a successful future,” said the father of four.

Wrong diagnosis
“For example, children of immigrants might understand too little of what is being said during a lesson, get bored and then become restless – but that has nothing to do with ADHD,” Alber pointed out.

A unique competition for Swiss university students highlights the threat posed by human trafficking to global businesses while seeking solutions to the problem.
Launched on Monday night at Geneva University, the contest with cash prizes invites students to write papers on how companies can tackle what is now the third-largest criminal activity in the world after arms and drugs trading. Often hidden, human trafficking includes child labour and the forced employment of men and women against their will. Such illicit practices enslave millions of people and generate around $32 billion (SFr29.28 billion) in profits annually, according to the United Nations.

Shelters are a crucial provision for victims of domestic violence, but battered women still face huge problems in rebuilding their lives.
That’s according to Claire Magnin of the Women Solidarity support group in the Biel/Bienne region, who has nearly two decades of practical experience as the founder of a centre for victims and their children in northwestern Switzerland.

swiss info.ch spoke to Magnin ahead of the annual “16 days against violence against women campaign”, which began on Friday.

Switzerland Travel

Switzerland is not a very dangerous country. The only threat is pick-pocketing and purse snatching so be very careful. They are more frequent in trains, buses, airports and some public parks especially around peak season (summer and Christmas holidays). When you travel to Switzerland there is a new rule about smoking. People are banned to smoke in public places although there is an exception to restaurants which have ventilation or a separate area for smokers. The medical facilities are at a very good standard.

I think that i would enjoy traveling or living in Switzerland because there isn't alot of crimes happening so it sounds like it isn't a dangerous place. Also their medical facilities are good so it would mean that they have very good doctors if i get hurt. The no smoking policy is good as i would like to live or visit an enviroment that has alot of smoke as i dislike it very much. - Khatidja
