A National Commission
for Gender Mainstreaming

On 3 July 2008, the Swedish Secretariat for Gender Research at the University of Gothenburg was commissioned by the Swedish Government to provide support to government agencies in addressing gender mainstreaming.

This was in order to create long-termism and continuity in gender equality. The Secretariat aimed to ”create a bridge between gender research and the authorities’ work with gender equality”. From 2008 to 2010, Jämi worked to create the conditions for long-term support for the gender mainstreaming work of government agencies. The findings of the commission were presented to the Minister for Integration and Gender Equality on 31 December 2010.
