This webinar offers a unique opportunity to learn about and reflect on ways forward in work to guarantee fundamental rights and freedoms for the people living in the Nordics – a life free from negative social control, violence and oppression, and the right to decide over one’s body and sexuality.
At the webinar we will present key results from a new study that reviews the policies and legislations in the Nordic countries. We will explore the transition from policy to practice and highlight successful work across the Nordic countries. The webinar is organised by Nordic information on gender (NIKK) and the Nordic Welfare Centre (NWC).
The webinar welcomes experts working in ministries responsible for addressing honour-based violence and oppression, as well as other national actors engaged in this work.
