Between Equality and Emergency: Gendered Dimensions of Nordic Resilience


The project centres on (gender) equality in times of crisis and explores how future Nordic resilience strategies can better support equality goals. In times of overlapping crises – security, climate, -and health – urgent responses often override long-term structural equality goals. This risks sidelining gender commitments, despite evidence that crises are not gender-neutral: norms and inequalities shape both exposure and resilience. The project will conduct a literature review, stakeholder interviews, collect Nordic best practices, and foster network-building activities.

Desired outputs include a report with findings and recommendations and an online Nordic conference to foster a future network on gendered resilience in the Nordics.
