Finally father discrimination stops in Switzerland

According to my favorite daily newspaper (www.tagesanzeiger.ch) unmarried and divorced fathers in Switzerland, will finally receive the same rights towards their children as woman do have today. Switzerland is the last country in the world where currently the rights of parents towards their children are not equal! So far separated mothers had to actively agree to equal rights of the father towards the children. If they did not do so, the rights over the children were solely handed over to the mother. Of course this has been abused in many cases to blackmail the former husband in order to achieve a preferable divorce deal. Good to see that things are finally moving in conservative Switzerland :)
