The themes are “What do the words gender equality and diversity really mean?”, “A question about equity”, “A question about profitability”, “The citizen perspective”, “Intersectionality”, “Gender equality and diversity – a question of priority?”.

Many of the programs are referring to laws that don’t exist anymore, which can question the priority. The plans and programs does not include an intersectional understanding of discrimination. (Less)
