Women Voters Split on Civic Duty as Equality Meets a New Obligation

BERN - Crosstabs from the latest surveys showed women voters splitting on the Civic Duty Initiative, with no automatic yes from the people the text claims to include. Several respondents told pollsters that equality should mean access, not a compulsory extra year.

Feminist groups are not united. Some want the army's male line broken. Others want care work recognised without a state roster.

The army watches the same tables

Recruitment officers already struggle to fill specialist roles. They do not see a civic mega-duty as a pipeline. They see a queue in the wrong building.
