There is a common understanding that power is not distributed equally and in general men have much more power than women in the world. Therefore, in order to create a just and progressive world, we need to encourage and support gender equality. The Council of Europe defines 'gender equality' an equal visibility, empowerment and participation of both sexes in all spheres of public and private life; gender equality means accepting and valuing equally the differences between women and men and the diverse roles they play in society. From a gender equality perspective, Violence against Women (VAW) or Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a result and an expression of "prevailing imbalances of power relations between the sexes."The objective of this research project was to find workable solutions to the relationship between gender equality and violence against women. Violence against women is a public health problem worldwide; even where gender equality index is high. Current data indicate that despite the high rate of gender equality in the Nordic countries - like Sweden, the rate of violence against women and girls remain high. Experts refer to this perceived anomaly as the 'Nordic Paradox'. This study covers five EU28 countries: Sweden, Spain, Malta, Bulgaria and Poland; and is based on an understanding that the relationship between gender equality and violence against women is very complicated. It is an attempt to gain a better and more nuanced understanding of relationships between gender equality and violence against women. In fact, if we were able to find a reasonable explanation for this Nordic Paradox, we would be able to find an appropriate formula for defining gender equality and the relationships between gender equality and violence against women. In order to reach such a goal, we intend to do the followings: (1) Examine the relationships between gender equality rights and the prevalence of violence against women within our select five countries - with regards to the aforementioned inconsistency between gender equality scores and the prevalence of IPV; (2) Clarify the power imbalances between men and women; and through review of related literature; analyse local social and cultural norms and beliefs on expected male and female roles, including the overall status of women; (3) Recognize the impact of other possible contributory factors including: childhood sexual victimization, exposure during childhood to violence between parents, violent video games played during childhood and adolescence and the correlation to the prevalence of VAW in adulthood; (4) Acknowledge the intersectionality of violence against women with regards to the structural inequalities of race, age, class, culture, and income which may present multiple oppressions; and (5) finally to reveal the ideological disparities of gender roles that may still exist in countries high on the Gender Equality Index. The conclusions reached by the study suggest that the high rate of Intimate Partner Violence in Sweden should not be considered a paradox but rather as an 'unintended consequences' of the growing gender equality and the persistent power of the patriarchal past.

Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2021-036/ The Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, together with Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Åland, have a long history of cooperating and sharing knowledge on gender equality. The cooperation is driven by a shared vision of a gender equitable Nordic region with equal opportunities, power, rights and obligations for all women and men, girls and boys. In Nordic Gender Equality in Figures 2021 you will find the latest gender statistics for the Nordic region. Thirty-three indicators show how far the region has come and what challenges remain in the context of demography, family and care, health, education, labor market, income, as well as power and influence. This handbook will hopefully be useful for anyone seeking reliable and comparable data on Nordic gender equality.

Egalitarianism In Scandinavia written by Synnøve Bendixsen and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017-08-17 with Social Science categories.

This book discusses egalitarianism in Scandinavian countries through historically oriented and empirically based studies on social and political change. The chapters engage with issues related to social class, political conflict, the emergence of the welfare state, public policy, and conceptualizations of equality. Throughout, the contributors discuss and sometimes challenge existing notions of the social and cultural complexity of Scandinavia. For example, how does egalitarianism in these nations differ from other contemporary manifestations of egalitarianism? Is it meaningful to continue to nurture the idea of Scandinavian exceptionalism in an age of economic crises and globalization? The book also proposes that egalitarianism is not merely a relationship between specific, influential enlightenment ideas and patterns of policy, but an aspect of social organization characterized by specific forms of political tension, mobilization, and conflict resolution-as well as emerging cultural values such as individual autonomy.

Gender Equality And Nation Branding In The Nordic Region written by Eirinn Larsen and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-05-25 with Political Science categories.

This book explores how gender equality, a central part of the Nordic imaginary, is used in the political communication of Nordic states. The analyses presented move beyond conventional images and discourses of Nordic gender- and women-friendliness by critically investigating how and to what extent gender equality serves nation-branding in the Nordic region. Nation-branding is an unescapable part of globalisation, which is a market-oriented process dominated by the West and predicated on the creation of winners and losers. Hence, efforts to strengthen the national brand or reputation of specific Nordic countries with the aid of gender equality as a political and symbolic value inevitably help to reinforce already established global hierarchies where the Nordics play the role of moral superpower. This book comprises scholars from various fields of specialisation, and provides evidence and understanding for the growing interaction between gender-equality policies and nation-branding in all five Nordic countries. It does so by exploring a variety of policy fields and issues including women’s rights, foreign policy, rape and legislation, female quotas and business policies, in addition to the index industry. The rise of the global indexes has reproduced forceful images of the Nordic countries as frontrunners of gender equality, which indeed help the Nordic countries to further position themselves as ‘best at being good’. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Nordic gender equality in political science, sociology, law, criminology, political psychology and history, as well as those interested in nation branding, Nordic studies and exceptionalism.

Promoting gender equality at work is not only a matter of rights; it is the smart thing to do from the perspective of inclusive growth. The Nordic region is a case in point, as it has come to represent the 11th largest economy in the world, not despite policy commitments to gender equality and social justice, but because of it. The Nordic countries have robust economies and good living conditions, where both women and men have high labour force participation rates. However, the gender pay gap is persistent and occupational segregation continues to hinder gender equality. The Nordic Gender Effect at Work briefs share the collective Nordic experience in investing in gender equality including parental leave, childcare, flexible work arrangements, leadership and equal opportunities at work, and seek to make further progress through cooperation.
