For the Nordic countries, being part of a globalised world means demonstrating international commitment. Gender equality is part of the Nordic identity, and has been a basic pillar of our democracies and in the development of our welfare models.

The vision of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ work on gender equality is that it will serve as a model. It will show how we in the Nordic Region are responding to the challenges of globalization by implementing a gender equality policy that will ensure a sustainable society in the future.
