FLO?VENZ Index. 330 $aThe Nordic states were among the first in the world to enact general gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low threshold enforcement mechanisms. Today, the Nordic countries top the World Economic Forum's Gender Gap Index -but they have still not succeeded in closing the gender gap. This book draws a diverse and complex picture of the long, uneven, and unfinished process towards substantive equality in four Nordic countries: Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Iceland. It presents the Nordic gender equality model's systematic use of three measures: overarching gender policies, legislation that has an explicit or implicit impact on gender relations, and gender equality and anti-discrimination laws with low-threshold enforcement systems. What potentials and limitations do the Nordic gender equality and anti-discrimination law regimes have to combat individual discrimination and structural inequality? Can these regimes function as a driver of political, legal, economic, cultural, and social change and as a corrective to laws, policies, and practices that uphold existing inequalities and, if so, to what extent? Can weaknesses in the equality and anti-discrimination laws and the way they are enforced hamper efforts to close remaining gender gaps? Rather than looking at the Nordic gender equality laws and policies in isolation, the book situates their development and transformative potential within a changing European and international political and legal landscape. 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$zFinland 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$zIceland 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$zNorway 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation$zSweden 606 $aSex role$zFinland 606 $aSex role$zIceland 606 $aSex role$zNorway 606 $aSex role$zSweden 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aSex role 676 $a342.48970878 700 $aHellum$b Anne$01181607 701 $aIkdahl$b Ingunn$01346827 701 $aStrand$b Vibeke Blaker$01385377 701 $aSvensson$b Eva-Maria$01385378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736100803321 996 $aNordic Equality and Anti-Discrimination Laws in the Throes of Change$93432797 997 $aUNINA
