Nordic LGBTI Fund
Nordic Council and the Nordic Council of Ministers
The Fund aims to stimulate Nordic co-operation in the LGBTI area within the framework of the Nordic Co-operation Programme on Gender Equality, including its supplement Equal rights, treatment and opportunities for LGBTI people in the Nordic region.
The green transition will require the Nordic societies to undergo major changes. If these changes are to be meaningful, effective and beneficial to all Nordic inhabitants, then they must be based on gender equality and equal rights.
If the Nordic Region is to remain competitive, then all of its inhabitants must have the opportunity to contribute towards Nordic society. Enabling all Nordic inhabitants to have genuinely equal opportunities to contribute their talents and competencies is only possible if the region’s educational institutions and labour markets are based on gender equality and equal rights for all.
Not all Nordic inhabitants are the same, but if the Nordic Region is to be socially sustainable, then gender equality and equal rights must form the foundation for all of the work undertaken to achieve an inclusive society with stronger levels of cohesion and shared values.
