Abstract
The refugee crisis in 2015 challenged Sweden’s asylum policy. The high number of refugees put pressure on the Migration Agency to register all asylum applica-tions and for municipalities to provide them with ontological security in terms of housing, education, and healthcare. The discourse in parliamentary debates and newspaper articles was on internal security, the ability to provide housing, educa-tion, healthcare and employment but also on the establishment and integration of the refugees. There was also a discourse on gender equality where it was encour-aged for refugees to get an introduction to Swedish values, culture and gender equality.
