During my visit of the Pride House in Stockholm, I met with a wonderfully inspiring person: Emilia.

Sweden: feminism in progress
My first day at the Gay Pride 2019 began at the Pride House. (For those of you who don’t know what the Pride House is, read my last post here!)I was really excited that day, probably even the most excited from all my interviews I have ever held before. Why? Because this was my firstContinue reading “Sweden: feminism in progress”

Even though the organization was on holiday officially, the Chair woman Janice Førde and secretariat coordinator Ruth Ejdrup Olsen wereContinue reading “KULU – empowering women in development”
Copenhagen – Impressions
Before I went to Copenhagen, I expected my visit to be rather underwhelming: My google-search made me feel like the city was comparable to any big European city. When I actually arrived here, I was on the contrary, verysurprised. I must admit that Copenhagen took my heart by storm. My prior expectations did come trueContinue reading “Copenhagen – Impressions”
