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.
What are the living conditions for LGBTI people in the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland? NIKK is investigating this in a new publication that brings together legislation, policy, key stakeholders and ongoing Nordic initiatives in the LGBTI field in these three countries.
A recurring challenge is the lack of statistics and systematic knowledge about the living conditions of LGBTI people in the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland.
The Nordic Council of Ministers has decided to launch a targeted call for proposals through the 2026 fund. To be eligible for funding, the lead organisation must be based in the Faroe Islands, Greenland or Åland.
Deepati Forsberg is a project coordinator at NIKK and responsible for the Nordic LGBTI Fund. She hopes that this year’s call for proposals will be at step towards a Nordic region where everyone has equal rights and opportunities , regardless of where they live.
