Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) is a co-operation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers. We gather and communicate knowledge about policy and practice, facts and research in the area of gender equality and equal rights for LGBTI people with a Nordic and cross-sectorial perspective.
In conjunction with the summit of the UN Commission on the Status of Women NIKK publishes a knowledge base, focusing on this year’s theme of economic vulnerability.
The knowledge base highlights a number of structural factors that favour men over women. There is also a need to understand how economic vulnerability affects the lives of different groups.
