Swedish Gender Equality Agency (Jämställdhetsmyndigheten)

Success in gender equality work can only be achieved by setting long-term goals and pursuing them with determination. The Swedish Gender Equality Agency was established to meet these requirements.

The overarching goal of Sweden’s national gender equality work is for women and men to have the same power to shape society and their own lives. This goal is separated into six sub-goals in the following areas: influence, economy, health, education, work and bodily integrity. The gender equality work is ultimately a matter of redistributing power and resources in order to achieve the goals.
