Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) is a Nordic co-operation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers. We collect, disseminate and analyse knowledge about policy and practice, data and research in the field of gender equality and LGBTI with a Nordic and cross-sectoral perspective.
During the autumn 2024, the fourth call for proposals for the Nordic LGBTI Fund was launched. Of the 14 project applications received, three of them were granted funding.
The projects will work to develop a Nordic digital curriculum for higher education in human services (HR), create greater security in everyday life for LGBTI people and create a network for research on the living conditions of LGBTI people.
For 50 years, the Nordic countries have worked together to make the Nordic Region one of the most gender equal in the world. As this anniversary year draws to a close, their promise to stand up for gender equality and the rights of LGBTI people is renewed.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ decision to establish official co-operation between the Nordic governments on gender equality issues.
To make wise choices for the future, it is important to know the history that many build on. NIKK is therefore publishing an anniversary publication.
