NORDIC EMBASSY COOPERATION FOR GENDER EQUALITY AND EQUAL RIGHTS

→ Nordic Co-operation Programme for
Gender Equality and LGBTI 2025–2030

Welcome to the joint Nordic knowledge platform—a digital hub that brings together a decade of Nordic publications on gender equality and the equal rights of LGBTI persons.

At a time when progress is both achieved and challenged, the Nordic countries remain united and steadfast. Through “Pushing for Progress – Towards gender equality and equal rights for LGBTI-persons 2025–2027”, the Nordic governments reaffirm their dedication to protecting past achievements while driving forward new initiatives to promote gender equality and the equal rights of LGBTI persons.

All Nordic embassies are invited to join this shared effort—by drawing on Nordic experiences, transforming them into joint initiatives, and presenting the Nordic region as a united, strong, and credible voice in advancing gender equality and human rights worldwide.
