The Fredrika-Bremer-Association
 

A vision for a gender equal society:
- Do you believe in equality between women and men, and that people are worth the same no matter their sex?
- Would you like to encourage more men to take paternity leave and stay at home with their children? Would you like to see more women as corporate leaders?
- Do you find the media picture of women and men hopelessly oversimplified and stereotyped?
If your answer is yes, please read

 

Since 1884, the Fredrika-Bremer-Association (FBF) has led the debate on equality between men and women in Sweden. Many of the changes urged by FBF over the years are now enacted in law or have been realised by other means. But despite these successes, we still need to work towards greater gender equality. A detached force is needed for our guarding, actualizing and acting for the development to move forwards – not backwards.

FBF is the only association in Sweden that is unaffiliated to any political party, and which works for gender equality in all areas. Right now we are in the middle of an exciting phase of change both in terms of our organisation and our external work. The transformation is called Projekt Omtag and will introduce new ideas, new approaches and ways of working.

 

What is the Fredrika-Bremer-Association?
- We are an association working for gender equality – for both women and men.
- We are not bound to any political or religious party or any other organisation, which means that we take a firm grip around the gender issues without becoming entangled in party or factional politics.
- We have a vision. We want a professional-, family- and social life shaped by both women and men, where both parts are acting on athe same conditions. But we are realistic, and realize that a pragmatic approach is necessary to meet today´s agenda– so that we will be able to reach tomorrow´s vision.
