Nordic Information on Gender (NIKK) is a Nordic co-operation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers. We collect, disseminate and analyse knowledge about policy and practice, data and research in the field of gender equality and LGBTI with a Nordic and cross-sectoral perspective.
During the spring, the Nordic Gender Equality Fund announced its thirteenth call for proposals. There was considerable interest in the fund, and seven of the 35 project applications received were awarded funding.
The projects will focus on, for example, strengthening gender aspects in Nordic emergency preparedness work, changing the gender narrative in Sápmi through gulahallat and examining anti-LGBTI indoctrination on online platforms.
This September, the Nordic LGBTI Fund opens up for applications for funding for the fifth time. The purpose is to promote Nordic co-operation within the field and to improve conditions for LGBTI people in the Nordic countries.
The call is open between 1th of September and 1th of October 2025. Projects that contribute to Nordic interests and work for equal rights and opportunities for LGBTI people in the Nordic countries can apply for financing from the Fund.
Several projects funded by the Nordic Gender Equality Fund and the Nordic LGBTI Fund focus on issues related to LGBTI people belonging to multiple minorities.
The publication Standing out even in groups to which you belong provides an insight into some of the Nordic co-operation projects, the challenges they have identified and the concrete results they have seen.
The project ‘Pay equity in the Nordic region’ is now crowned with a third publication focusing on the undervaluation of women’s work in the Nordic region.
The publication discusses various explanations for the undervaluation of women’s work in a gender-segregated labour market, based on a survey of social partners and other key actors in the Nordic countries.
