“New strides towards a more equal skogsbransch”
“By the northern forestry trade fair Skogsnolia was organised in 2015 showed one of the exhibitors scantily clad women on the machines’ hoods.”
“Four years later, a brand new jämställdhetsgrepp permeate the fair, reports Folkbladet.”
“Among other things, forest sector exhibitors have to answer questions about how well they manage to be inclusive in everything from marketing to the sizes on the clothing. The one who succeeds best will win a gender equality prize of 20 000 sek.”
“– As you can see, we are not suddenly in 2019 to be very equal, but we are taking the flag, says Kristin Olsson, project manager for the Skogsnolia, to Folkbladet.”
“the forest Industry is today strongly dominated by men and just over 15 per cent of those working in the forest are women. The recent past has, however, a number of initiatives have been taken for change, including a new network for women in the forestry sector (Nyks) and killmiddagar, with discussions on jargon, and sexual harassment.”
