Promoting Gender Equality in Media Content: A Limitation or Extension of Freedom of Expression?
- 2023

Ingår i: The Handbook on Gender, Communication, and Women's Human Rights, Margaret Gallagher & Aimee Vega Montiel (Eds.). - Hoboken, New Jersey : Wiley. - 9781119800682 ; , s. 195-212

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Is promoting gender equality in media content a limitation or an extension of freedom of expression? This question addresses the complicated intertwining of two political values essential in a democratic system. Whereas freedom of expression has long been safeguarded in international and national legal instruments, gender equality was established as a human right more recently. Fulfilling the goal of gender equality in media content through regulation is often perceived as a limitation of freedom of expression by the media industry as well as policymakers. Both self-regulation and regulation through legislation are needed to achieve gender equality in media content when it comes to eliminating gender stereotypes and combating sexist hate speech. Measures to safeguard gender equality in the media should be understood as expanding freedom of expression. It demands a system that goes far beyond protecting the individual right to free speech and the right to freedom from discrimination.

Sweden: From proactive policies to anti-discrimination law
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws in the Throes of Change Legal developments in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. - London : Routledge. - 9781032001258 - 9781003172840
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A shift from politics to law, inefficient enforcement tools, and dislodgment from action to information as well as criticism of gender equality from various angles have all had an impact on the law’s ability to contribute to the achievement of gender equality in Sweden. It is not primarily through anti-discrimination legislation and litigation that gender equality has been achieved in Sweden, and such an approach will probably not be the main strategy in the future. Still, we have to continue to improve the protection provided to victims of individual discrimination and harassment. The Swedish case shows how the individual’s right to access to justice can be undermined in a context where state bodies – such as the Ombudsman – are given wide discretionary powers to promote equality as a collective public interest.

Introduction: Nordic equality and anti-discrimination laws in the throes of change
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nordic Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws in the Throes of Change Legal developments in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. - London : Routledge. - 9781032001258 - 9781003172840
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book provides insights into the drive to achieve substantive gender equality in four Nordic countries: Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. It draws a diverse and complex picture of the long, uneven, and unfinished process towards that goal. These countries’ systematic use of a combination of political and legal instruments has been described as the Nordic gender equality model. The overall aim of such an approach is to achieve substantive equality through a variety of measures that go beyond formal equality. Laws and policies on gender equality vary with the political, social and legal context in each of the Nordic countries, but the Nordic gender equality model may be understood as consisting of three key components. The first is an overarching gender equality policy. The second is welfare legislation that has an explicit or implicit impact on gender relations. The third component is what we refer to as ‘gender equality and anti-discrimination law regimes’: laws that prohibit gender discrimination and promote gender equality through proactive measures, in combination with low-threshold enforcement systems.

Nordic Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws in the Throes of Change Legal developments in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Nordic states were among the first in the world to enact general gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low threshold enforcement mechanisms. Today, the Nordic countries top the World Economic Forum’s Gender Gap Index – but have still not succeeded in closing the gender gap. This book draws a diverse and complex picture of the long, uneven and unfinished process towards substantive equality in four Nordic countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland. It presents the Nordic gender equality model’s systematic use of three measures: overarching gender policies, legislation that has an explicit or implicit impact on gender relations and gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low threshold enforcement systems. What potentials and limitations does the Nordic gender equality and anti-discrimination law regimes have to combat individual discrimination and structural inequality? Can these regimes function as a driver of political, legal, economic, cultural and social change, and as a corrective to laws, policies and practices that uphold existing inequalities, and, if so, to what extent? Can weaknesses in the equality and anti-discrimination laws and the way they are enforced hamper efforts to close remaining gender gaps? Rather than looking at the Nordic gender equality laws and policies in isolation, the book situates their development and transformative potential within a changing European and international political and legal landscape.

Distanciation and inequalities in the Finnish and Swedish monitoring of elder care housing in Arctic communities

Ingår i: Distance, Equity and Older People’s Experiences in the Nordic Periphery Centering the Local. Edited By Shahnaj Begum, Joan R. Harbison, Päivi Naskali, Minna Zechner. - London, UK : Routledge. - 9781032248301
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Finnish and Swedish legislation on elder care housing aims at empowering and promoting the capability of older persons. In this chapter, the regional monitoring of such elder care housing is studied. The broad context is the Nordic welfare model, in recent years transformed into what is now called New Public Management. We ask how the governmental bodies in the Northern region monitor elder care housing and how they react to information and complaints from various stakeholders regarding the housing services. To accomplish this, we apply Therborn’s mechanisms of producing inequalities and how they hinder capability as a theoretical analytical tool by specifically examining the mechanisms of distanciation and exclusion. We then use it to illustrate the monitoring process and analyze the data. Based on a limited number of informal and formal complaints filed at the monitoring bodies (AVI and IVO), we raise concerns about inequalities and distanciation mechanisms that may be the result of a monitoring system that relies on presumed individual capabilities that are not always present. As not everyone has the capability to make a complaint, a system that places the right and the responsibility to complain on an individual level may lead to winners and losers.

The Pan-Arctic Report on Gender Equality in the Arctic: Moving Forward!
- 2023
-
Ingår i: The Yearbook of Polar Law. - 1876-8814. ; 14:1, s. 205-223
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This article takes as its starting-point the Pan-Arctic report on Gender Equality in the Arctic (GEA report) and, in specific, the chapter on law and governance. Its aim is to provide an overview of the report’s chapter on law & governance. It provides a discus- sion on why gender equality is important in general and more specifically in the Arctic region, followed by a review of the chapter on law and governance and its findings through policy relevant highlights. The report demonstrated that Arctic governance does not prioritise gender equality and, more generally, that the goal of gender equal- ity is not fulfilled within the region. The chapter on law and governance highlights the need for shared gender equality commitments in Arctic public governing bodies and for a gender equality policy for the Arctic Council, including the application of an intersectional approach. Further, that Arctic States should collaborate to incorporate gender into the development of Arctic strategies. Finally, the report’s recommenda- tions, major areas of research interest and the next steps are discussed.

The Paths Made by Our Scholarly Walk
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Hellums metode. Festskrift till Anne Hellum 70 år. - Oslo : Gyldendal Akademisk. - 9788205582859
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The experience-based everyday life perspective is a basic approach in feminist legal studies. In this tradition, Anne Hellum is an excellent role model, as she has personified and lived this scholarly tradition. In this chapter, we have paraphrased the subtitle of her book Human Rights, Plural Legalities and Gendered Realities, Paths Are Made by Walking, as this grounded approach inspires us to regard our academic professional experiences as a journey and to reflect on these experiences as a source of knowledge. We use ‘scholarly walk’ as a means to address the interaction between abstraction and concretion, meaning that theory and practice depend on and impact each other. Our site is the academia, and we’ll focus on certain defining moments, potential paths to take when coming to crossroads, the contribution to knowledge development and network building, the impact outside academia and the position as an outsider, in order to conclude with some recommendations from our collected walk of academic experiences.
