A better working life for trans people

In October 2024, a Nordic conference was held on the conditions of trans people in working life. 

The conference was based on the knowledge review ‘Trans people’s working life conditions in the Nordic region’, published by NIKK in spring 2024. The knowledge review compiles results from Nordic studies, and the overall picture shows that trans people* face particular obstacles in their working lives.


Three new projects for LGBTI rights in the Nordic region

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.

A milestone in Nordic work towards gender equality and equal rights for 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.


In 2024, Sweden held the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The year has been characterised by both retrospection and serious efforts for the future.
