IDAHOT flag

Since the 1970s, the classic rainbow flag has served as a powerful symbol of the LGBTQIA+ community. šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ Over the years, new flags have emerged, incorporating various elements that reflect the progress made within the LGBTQIA+ movement. The Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag, designed in 2021, has a purple circle to specifically include intersex individuals. Each colour in this flag holds a significant meaning within the LGBTQIA+ community: šŸ–¤šŸ¤Ž = people of colour. šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļø = transgender and non-binary individuals. 🟣 = intersex individuals. ā¤ļø red = life, a symbol of love and vitality 🧔orange = healing, reflecting the journey of self-discovery, growth, and acceptance. šŸ’› yellow = sunlight, evoking feelings of positivity, joy, and happiness. šŸ’š green= nature, highlights the community’s connection to the environment and sustainability. šŸ’™ blue = harmony, emphasizing unity and solidarity. šŸ’œpurple = spirit, combining the elements of blue (harmony) and red (life) to represent the community’s strength and resilience. — #PrideFlag #Pride2023 #LoveisLove

Katrine Marcal – history of woman and innovation

Why has Innovation, science and technology for so long been associated with men? How come we were able to send a man to the moon before we developed suitcases with wheels? Author and financial journalist Katrine MarƧal reflects on gender, science and otherqueries. We live in challenging times and, like MarƧal says: ‘We need to use all of the potential we have’ –not just the male half of it. The long version (5:53 min) in format 16:9 is available with and without subtitles. The short version (1:59 min) for social media in format 16:9 is available with and without English subtitles. SRT-files in English are available for subtitling to local languages.

Parenting – an equal opportunity

Parenting – an equal opportunity

Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce parental leave for both mothers and fathers in 1974, and today parents are offered 480 days of parental leave. The Swedish Institute wants to highlight the effects that Sweden’s parental policy has on gender equality. Parental leave means that women in Sweden don’t have to choose between a career and a family. For fathers, it means an opportunity to experience a closer bond with their children through shared responsibilities. Progress, certainly, but fathers still only use 30 per cent of all parental leave days, so there’s more work to do. This toolkit, Parenting – an equal opportunity, comprises a photo exhibition, including a video, and social media materials. For this exhibition, documentary photographer Elin Berge has portrayed and interviewed parents in Sweden who strive to live equal lives. Berge’s 23 photos offer an insight into the endeavour of these parents to move beyond deeply rooted conceptions of gender roles and expectations towards a more equal partnership.

Images that change the world in Zagreb

The embassy of Sweden in Zagreb have worked with the Images that change the world exhibition outdoors with rented stands at the Cvjetni trg square in Zagreb. We asked Mirna about the feedback on the exhibition since the content might be a bit provocative. Mirna Juric at the embassy: “We have some negative comments on social networks, but generally the response from people is positive. We have a lot of Ā media articles, several radio announcements and one TV media clip. Fortunately the media communication was positive and proactive. It feels like a good result. It’s wonderful if we can start discussions and get reactions on inclusion. The exhibition will travel on to Split in Croatia during 2021. Credits: The Embassy of Sweden in Zagreb.
