Reflecting on the past week and I am so happy about all the great opportunities that were given to me I was invited to Brussels by the @fesonline nordic countries to participate in an exiting event on gender inclusive digital policy: #AI and #genderequality at the workplace.
I felt very humbled that I was invited to represent the #norsk perspective as a researcher at #ntnunorway
#Norsktut
In meetings with Gender Equality Ambassadors and the CoE Committee of Ministers yesterday I stressed that achieving #genderequality & combating violence against women must be a top priority in Europe.
It is crucial to dismantle harmful gender stereotypes and address disinformation online by investing in inclusive education on digital literacy, robust data collection, and human rights-based legal protections.
The Patriarchy in one image:
1. She’s doing all the work.
2. He has an advantage (gun), but instead of using it to help both of them, he is trying to suppress her.
3. She’s fighting in a skimpy costume while he’s fully clothed.
4. She’s prepared for battle with warrior cuffs while he looks like an exec in the wrong place. Which means he’s earning more in a fight for which he’s less qualified.

The government will promote startups by women nationwide, such as by taking measures to help prevent female entrepreneurs from being harassed, as it seeks to curb an outflow of women from rural areas. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/03/japan/politics/women-startups-promotion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #startups #ai #localgovernment #genderequality

There's a saying that goes "we will know when we have achieved gender equality when an incompetent woman is promoted in a position of power", and I must say to my fellow white ladies, I think we have made it.
This is not the occasion for celebration I thought it would be.

> [T]he incentives created by the earmarking policies seem to work, as fathers tend to increase their uptake of paternity leave, while mothers tend to increase their labor supply during their child’s first year of life. However, such effects are heterogeneous, depending on the policy design and the underlying couple characteristics. Designs that impose strong constraints on household choices seem to have adverse effects on low-income or low-education households, reducing mothers’ earnings, triggering couple dissolution, and negatively affecting children’s GPA. [...]
> Second, there is no strong support in the data for the argument, popular in the public opinion and among policy makers, that paternity leave improves the balance of childcare duties within a couple and that it ultimately enhances women’s labor market position. However, [...] Sweden is one of the countries with the lowest documented child penalty in employment and earnings (see the child penalty atlas), and it is unlikely that policy played no role in narrowing gender gaps among parents. Consistently, recent evidence suggests that earmarking has improved gender attitudes in the next generation, making men less likely to hold stereotypical views about gender roles in society.
