It is also research from these fields I have used to situate the study in previous research. My results show that there are both risks and possibilities for sustainability to be created in relation to Malmö’s work with gender mainstreaming. In order to create sustainability it is important not to see women as the solution to the problems and make them the bearer of the change and to take a collective responsibility for the work that needs to be done. When working with gender mainstreaming, it is also important to include other perspectives than gender and supporting functions in the organization play an important role when creating sustainability.
