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
-
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.

Mobilisering och undanskjutande – Paradoxen i svensk politik kring stereotyper, jämställdhet och yttrandefrihet
- 2016
-
Ingår i: G16, Gränser, mobilitet och mobilisering Norrköping 23-25 nov 2016..
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Jämställdhet och yttrandefrihet är två kärnvärden i den svenska demokratin. Syftet med detta paper är att problematisera och förklara ’mobilisering’ och ’undanskjutande’ i policyprocesser, när jämställdhet och yttrandefrihet kommer i konflikt med varandra. Utgångspunkten är Sveriges anslutning till CEDAW (1979) och hur denna konvention har implementerats, särskilt granskas processer kring artikel 5a. Denna artikel handlar om att eliminera könsstereotyper eller som det står i den svenska översättningen ”ändra mäns och kvinnors sociala och kulturella beteendemönster för att därmed avskaffa fördomar samt seder och bruk som grundar sig på föreställningen om det ena könets underlägsenhet eller på stelnade roller för män och kvinnor”. Uttolkningen av denna artikel förstärks i Pekingplattformen (1995 Section J). I Sverige har denna artikel aktualitet särskilt när det gäller frågan om lagstiftning mot könsdiskriminerande reklam, där kvinnorörelsen varit pådrivande sedan 1970-talet. Trots upprepade utredningar betraktas eventuell lagstiftning fortfarande som ett hot mot yttrandefriheten. Värt att notera är att övriga nordiska länder (samt exempelvis Spanien) gör en annan tolkning och på olika sätt har reglerat könsdiskriminerande reklam i lag. Processerna på politisk nivå och som rättslig fråga kommer att analyseras med begreppsparet mobilisering – undanskjutande med hjälp av Carol Bacchi och andra teorier om policyprocesser. Vilka aktörer har varit aktiva i implementeringen? Hur har artikel 5a ramats in eller skjutits undan? Vilka aspekter av artikeln har lyfts till debatt? Vi har tidigare visat att kärnvärdena jämställdhet och yttrandefrihet står emot varandra på medieområdet och att yttrandefrihet ofta får väga tyngre än jämställdhet. Här är fokus på frågan varför det är så i Sverige. Vi ser att det finns huvudsakligen två förklaringar, yttrandefrihetens historiska betydelse för den svenska demokratin medan jämställdhet är ett senare värde, i kombination med en allt starkare betoning av näringsfrihetens värde. Med hjälp av teoretiker som Wendy Brown kommer vi att analysera den senare förklaringen.

Blurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Blurring the Lines: Market-Driven and Democracy-Driven Freedom of Expression focuses on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed when lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. With contributions from 20 scholars in law, media studies and philosophy, it explores an issue deserving greater attention, market pressures on freedom of expression. The role of commercial constraints on speech, restrictions and control of media content and the responsibility of state institutions in protecting free speech are some of the topics scrutinized from a democratic free speech perspective.

Women's human rights in the governance of the Arctic : gender equality and violence against indigenous women
- 2018
-
Ingår i: The Yearbook of Polar Law. - : Brill | Nijhoff. - 1876-8814 .- 2211-6427. - 9789004342415 ; 9:1, s. 53-78
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous studies show a lack of deference and activities when it comes to women's human rights and gender equality in the multi-level governance of the Arctic. According to the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, women in the Arctic are vulnerable, in particular indigenous and rural women. Their rights are not upheld in the Arctic states for example when it comes to exposure to violence, equal participation in governing bodies, and economic self-support. The public governing bodies have almost no focus on gender equality at all, despite far-reaching international obligations and, for several of the states, national ambitious agendas for gender equality politics. International instruments with obligations to strive for gender equality, such as the CEDAW, the ILO Convention 169 and UNDRIP, are scarcely referred to and not sufficiently implemented by the public governance bodies. The aim of this article is to raise awareness of the obligations set up by human rights documents to promote women' rights in the governance of the Arctic, in order to put pressure on the states to develop strategies for a future gender equal governance. We have a special focus on the general lack of awareness within public governance, and on men's intimate partner violence against indigenous women.
