Merit Wager wrote that Finland's Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen had said that Finland should not accept traditions, cultures, or customs that limited girls' freedom. According to the Swedish translation that Wager shared, Valtonen believed that girls and women should be able to decide over their own lives, and that religious or cultural norms should not be used to restrict their freedom. Wager also recounted Valtonen's statement that the National Coalition Party wanted to ban face-covering garments, such as the burqa and niqab, in schools and other educational institutions. Valtonen had said that the government led by the National Coalition Party had strengthened the rights of girls and women by more clearly criminalizing forced marriages and female genital mutilation. She had described female genital mutilation as violence and said that every girl had the right to bodily integrity. According to Wager's account, Valtonen also emphasized that equality, individual freedom, and human rights should not be overridden by references to religion, culture, or tradition. Every girl should have the right to be seen, heard, dream, and shape her future based on her own desires, she had said. #Jämställdhet #MänskligaRättigheter #KvinnorsRättigheter (translated)

Sofie Löwenmark described the report as important and well-made and wrote that it addressed more consequences of legal gender changes in prisons. According to her, it was about, among other things, the safety of female inmates, the work environment for staff, searches and urine tests, as well as the fear of touching that could arise when women's privacy was set against legal gender. #jämställdhet #juridik #fängelse (translated)

I have always been completely against the idea that children are seen as the woman's responsibility and, as was the case when I was young, men would see their children every other weekend after a divorce. That is why I believe that parenting should be shared 50/50. Fortunately, shared custody after divorce is now the norm. #deladvårdnad #föräldraskap #jämställdhet #SE (translated)

If anyone is wondering about Vindeln's sudden desire to regulate women's clothing: This is the WHOLE explanation. The municipal councilor feels threatened by a female teacher who has engaged against his mismanagement of the municipality and has become popular because of it. Yes, she looks good and is quite eloquent. Everyone understands that the councilor feels threatened and pressured. It's just ridiculous to pretend that he suddenly came up with the idea to regulate how well women's breasts are visible. That is not the case. It's his cope because he is threatened by organized younger women. It's ridiculous that the media can't put two and two together. The councilor has received incomprehensibly much criticism from women in the last 2-3 years. #KvinnorsRättigheter #Jämställdhet #Politik (translated)
