The party also champions social justice, arguing for fair distribution of resources, equal opportunities, and policies that support marginalized and disadvantaged groups. Furthermore, the Greens advocate for a participatory democracy, where citizens have a direct say in decision-making processes, especially on issues that affect the environment and their communities.<br /><br />In addition to environmental and social issues, the Swiss Green Party supports a foreign policy based on peace, human rights, and global justice.
