Sweden is a role model of gender equality in many respects, but that doesn't mean we take equality for granted. We want a future with equal opportunities for everyone, and that takes continuous work. 💪🌍 Today, the day before International Women's Day, we'd like to highlight these 6 long-term gender equality goals that the Swedish government is focusing on: 1️ Goal: Equal power and influence for women and men across all sectors. Today: 44% of Sweden's members of parliament are women and around 40% of board members in Sweden's larger listed companies are women. 2️ Goal: Same opportunities for financial independence regardless of gender. Today: Men earn about 10% more than women. 3️ Goal: Equal opportunities in education and educational choices. Today: Efforts continue to increase women's representation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Among graduated civil engineers around 35% are women, 65% men. 4️ Goal: A fair distribution of unpaid care and household responsibilities. Today: Sweden offers parents 480 days of paid parental leave to share, which aims to reduce career setbacks for women. Men use 30% of those days. 5️ Goal: Same conditions for health for women and men, girls and boys. Today: Mental health issues are increasing the most among girls and young women. 6️ Goal: Preventing and eliminating violence against women. Today: In cases of assault where the perpetrator knows the victim, 65% of the victims are women. Swedish anti-discrimination laws support equal opportunities, but challenges remain in practice. True equality is a work in progress. What steps do you think are most important to get there? 💬 📸: Margareta Bloom Sandebäck/imagebank sweden #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality #Sweden

If you’re curious about how Sweden blends tradition with modern work-life balance, the answer might just be found in a cream-filled bun. 🇸🇪 On March 4, Swedes celebrate Fettisdagen (Fat Tuesday) - the sweetest day in the Swedish calendar and an unmissable highlight of "fika culture".☕ This cardamom-scented bun, filled with almond paste and whipped cream has a history as rich as its filling. Dating back centuries, semlor (plural for semla) were once a pre-Lent indulgence. Today, it has evolved into a season-long treat stretching from Christmas to Easter - because why limit a good thing? 4 ways to eat semla like a Swede: ✅ The Traditionalist: Enjoy it served in a bowl of warm milk (hetvägg). 🥛 ✅ The Classic: Devour it straight from hand to mouth.🍰 ✅ The Polite: Use a fork and knife (no judgment… maybe). 🍴 ✅ The innovator: Embrace the modern twists - semmelwraps, croissant semlor, or even a semla milkshake! 🥐 Happy Fat Tuesday! #fika #fettisdagen #sweden

♻️ 🎶 Can you hear the sound of recycling? Meet Returrundan, Stockholm’s mobile recycling station that makes waste sorting more accessible and climate-smart. In Sweden, not all types of waste can be disposed of at home. Items like glass, electronics and certain other materials must be taken to a recycling centre. In a city where many walk and cycle, this initiative brings recycling to the people — cutting emissions and making sustainability effortless. 🚛 With its familiar jingle, the truck announces its arrival in different neighbourhoods, collecting everything from reusable items to hazardous waste — as long as it fits inside a moving box. From there, the materials are taken to the recycling facility. Returrundan, an initiative by @Stockholm Vatten och Avfall, is a simple yet powerful solution pioneering the future of urban waste management—seamlessly integrating sustainability into everyday life. 🌍 Smart solutions. Sustainable impact. #Sweden #Innovation #Sustainability #Recycling #SmartCities #WasteManagement #PioneerThePossible
