What weâre about
This is a network for Women of color mainly Women of African descent. We meet and support each other emotionally and intellectually. There is not that many women of color in Zurich.
We will be doing different activities from enjoying the outdoors to simply having a night out or reading fun books together.

See all- Ladies Swimming Day!Frauenbad Stadthausquai, ZĂźrich
Hi ladies! Summer is summering, so let's go for a swim!
We will meet at the Women's Lake pool at Stadthausquai. It's a beautiful space in the historical city center where we women are free to enjoy the sun!
For the ones who don't swim well (like myself đ ) no need to worry! They have an inner structure where we can relish the lake water without fear! If you want to see what it looks like, you can check it here.
The entrance fee is 8 francs, and we will pay upon arrival. They have a snack bar available if we get hungry mid-afternoon.
Get your swimsuit, sunscreen, and towel, and see you there! đ

About the book:
A BBC BEST BOOK OF 2024 ⢠A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK ⢠Moonlight meets Purple Hibiscus in this coming of age novel about self-acceptance, sexual awakening, and first love set in a Nigeria on the verge of criminalizing same-sex relationshipsObiefuna has always been the black sheep of his familyâsensitive where his father, Anozie, is pragmatic, a dancer where his brother, Ekene, is a natural athlete. But when Obiefunaâs father witnesses an intimate moment between his teenage son and another boy, his deepest fears are confirmed, and Obiefuna is banished to boarding school.
As he navigates his new schoolâs strict hierarchy and unpredictable violence, Obiefuna both finds and hides who he truly is. Back home, his mother, Uzoamaka, must contend with the absence of her beloved son, her husbandâs cryptic reasons for sending him away, and the hard truths that theyâve all been hiding from. As Nigeria teeters on the brink of criminalizing same-sex relationships, Obiefunaâs identity becomes more dangerous than ever before, and the life he wants drifts further out of reach.
About us:
The Sisterhood Book Club meets once a month to discuss books by authors of African descent. The books are usually a starting point for deeper discussions about life. We meet in person, either at one of our members' homes or in cosy, kid-friendly places in Zurich.In order not to miss any messages, please:
