Exposed living conditions in the Nordic region

How do we get an equal Nordic region that includes everyone? The theme's processes concern issues such as exposure to violence, treatment and inclusion/exclusion.

By highlighting experiences of sexual harassment, of young men's mental illness, transgender people's working conditions and older LGBTI people's living conditions, we contribute with critical perspectives on concrete challenges for the Nordic welfare model.

We cooperate with, amongst others
Policy Press, writers from all over the Nordic region, book events are carried out in collaboration with writers and national actors, such as RIKK Institute for Gender, Equality and Difference at Iceland University. Researchers at University of Gothenburg, Uppsala University, Södertörns högskola, Nordic Council of Ministers, the organization FRI, the Nordic Welfare Centre, Public Health Agency of Sweden, Senter for omsorgsforskning in Norway, Bufdir in Norway, LGBTI and Trans Organisations in the Nordic region.
