So while you and I and everyone else wait for the other updates I said would come, eventually, I swiftly managed to upload some pictures from the Frauenstreik/Grève des femmes/Sciopero delle donne 2019 that took place all across Switzerland this past Friday, June 14th.

I was asked to provide some coverage of the event in Ticino (the Southern, Italian-speaking region of Switzerland) for a collective of Swiss women photographers. Each would then provide about 10 pictures to the platform freshfocus.swiss in order to showcase the day's events through a woman's gaze – and also to make a point about a profession that is still mainly men-dominated.

In here, though, you will find a few more shots that didn't find their way into that platform. It was a long, though day, with a lot of ground to cover and a tight deadline – but it was for a cause I believe in and quite possibly one that would make history, given Switzerland's rather poor tradition of taking matters to the streets.

Alright, wait no more and head to the 2019 Women's Strike album.
