Det jämställdhetspolitiska målet innebär att män och kvinnor ska ha samma rättigheter, möjligheter och skyldigheter för att själva kunna forma sina liv inom alla livsområden. För att mäta jämställdhet i Sverige används statistik som grundar sig på kön som ensam social kategori. Detta trots att det går att se att arbetet med jämställdhet förbättras om kvinnor och män inte ses som statiska och homogena grupper. Inom den sociala kategorin kön finns fler underkategorier som påverkar det jämställdhetspolitiska arbetet och vid avsaknaden av ett intersektionellt perspektiv riskerar vissa grupper att missas. Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka konsekvenser frånvaron av ett intersektionellt perspektiv får i regeringens jämställdhetspolitiska mål samt vad ett intersektionellt perspektiv skulle kunna bidra med. För att göra detta granskas texterna regeringens jämställdhetpolitiska delmål ett en jämn fördelning av makt och inflytande, Regeringens skrivelse 2016/17:10 Makt, mål och myndighet – feministisk politik för en jämställd framtid och SOU 2015:86 – Mål och myndighet. En effektiv styrning av jämställhetspolitiken genom en kritisk diskursanalys. Materialet analyseras utifrån kritisk diskursanalys och dess analytiska verktyg utifrån Machin och Mayr (2012) tillsammans med intersektionalitet som övergripande teoretisk utgångspunkt som belyser och ifrågasätter maktstrukturer både inom och mellan olika sociala kategorier. Analysen förstärks ytterligare utifrån Foucaults begrepp makt, kunskap och diskurs. I resultatet framträder fyra olika diskurser vilka är diskursen om jämn könsfördelning av makt och maktpositioner, diskursen om kvinnor som underordande män i förhållande till jämställdhet och makt, diskursen om inkludering och exkludering av sociala kategorier och diskursen om konstruerandet av kvinnligt och manligt. Diskurserna bygger främst på en primär social kategori, kön. Frånvaron av det intersektionella perspektivet riskerar alltså att det bara är en viss social kategori som inkluderas. Jämställdhet blir på så vis inte nåbar för alla grupper av människor och påverkar då också hur mänskliga rättigheter tas tillvara på. / The goal for gender equality policy means that men and women should have the same rights, opportunities and obligations to shape their lives in all areas of life. To measure gender equality in Sweden, statistics based on gender as a single social category are used. This is despite the fact that the work on gender equality can be improved if women and men are not seen as static and homogeneous groups. Within the social category gender there are more subcategories that affect gender equality policy work and in the absence of an intersectional perspective, certain groups may be missed. The aim of the study is to examine the consequences of the absence of an intersectional perspective have in the government’s gender equality policy goals and what an intersectional perspective could contribute with. In order to do this the texts of the government’s gender equality sub-goal one en jämn fördelning av makt och inflytande, Regeringens skrivelse 2016/17:10 Makt, mål och myndighet – feministisk politik för en jämställd framtid and SOU 2015:86 – Mål och myndighet. En effektiv styrning av jämställhetspolitiken are examined through a critical discourse analysis. The material is analyzed based on critical discourse analysis and its analytical tools based on Machin och Mayr (2012) along with intersectionality as an overall theoretical approach that illuminates and questions power structures both within and between different social categories. The analysis is further amplified based on Foucault’s concepts of power, knowledge and discourse. In the results, four different discourses appear which are the discourse of equal gender distribution of power and power positions, the discourse of women as subordinate men in relation to equality and power, the discourse of inclusion and exclusion of social categories and the discourse on the construction of women and men. The discourses are mainly based on a primary social category, gender. A risk with the absence of the intersectional perspective is that there is only a certain social category which is included. The gender equality is there for not reachable for all groups of people and will also affect how human rights are taken advantage of.

<p>The purpose of the essay is to examine how issues concerning gender equality are perceived and to show what areas are defined as problematic in different discourses. It also raises the question of who is defined as responsible for dealing with issues concerning gender equality in these different contexts. Theories used are the gender system and intersectionality. The study builds on a mapping of a company that is active nationally and internationally, with emphasis on the problems that can arise when these two social contexts meet, with a special focus on cathegories such as gender and “Swedishness”. The material was first gathered through the use of questionnaires and interviews, then analysed through discourse analysis. The analysis shows that discourses of gender equality can be seen as constructed and dependent on the context, problems concerning equality are defined in one way nationally and in another way internationally. In cases of sexual harassment internationally the informants often choose to look the other way and feel like it is difficult to bring the “Swedish” values concerning equality abroad. It is more common to adapt to the ways of international colleagues but the informants also find it important to point out that they don’t necessarily agree with these.</p> / <p>Syftet med uppsatsen är att ur ett genusperspektiv undersöka hur frågor om jämställdhet uppfattas och visa vilka områden man väljer att peka ut som problemområden i olika diskurser. Uppsatsen utreder även vem som anses ha ansvaret för frågor som rör jämställdhet i olika sammanhang. Det teorier som används är genussystemet och intersektionalitet. Analysen utgår från en kartläggning av ett företag som är internationellt aktiva och den problematik som kan uppstå i möten mellan olika sociala kontexter, med fokus på föreställningar av genus och ”svenskhet”. Arbetsmetoden består av enkät- och intervjustudier och analysen har gjorts genom diskursanalys. Denna visar att jämställdhetsdiskurser kan ses som konstruerade och kontextbundna. Jämställdhetsproblematik definieras på olika sätt beroende på om man befinner sig på arbetsplatsen eller utomlands. Om man utsätts för könskränkningar i det internationella arbetet väljer informanterna många gånger att se mellan fingrarna och tycker att det är svårt att tillämpa ett ”svenskt” synsätt internationellt.

The purpose of this study was to examine the laws, govern documents and guiding principals that are available for schools and their work regarding the work against discrimination, insulting and other forms of harassments, and then to form a method for the schools to implement this work in practice. The work to counteract discrimination, insult treatment and other forms of harassments should be done both in a short term and a long term.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relations of power within the discourse of integration and my focus will be on power relations and structural discrimination. The study origins from four qualitative interviews with employees from the County administrative board as well as from the Employment office. The theoretical framework is based upon Social Constructionism, Postcolonial Theories and with an intersectional perspective. The recent critical research from The Official Report on power, integration and structural discrimination (Utredningen om makt, integration och strukturell diskriminering) is used as well as Foucault's theory of biopower which is discussed within the analysis. The study indicates that although integration often is addressed as a reciprocal process, it is still assumed that They should be integrated by Us. The present government's one-sided focus on employment has proved difficult for the employees to put into practise and when the responsibility of obtaining employment is based upon the individual alone, she/he becomes responsible for her/his own integration.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative study with a case study research design, where we studied social workers and politicians view on honor-related problems of underage girls and boys in the age 13-17. We need knowledge about honor related violence and oppression in the political community and social services to work with honor-related problems. Political decisions affect how social work is developed around the honor problem; therefore, it is also important to highlight this direction for the work. It requires a knowledge complement of honor-related problems not to risk exposing the child to further risk from the family (Hedersförtryck, 2009). This is to live up to, for example the law of Social Services, school law and Human Rights (Hussein &amp; Kinuka-Svedberg, 2010). We conducted semi-structured interviews with two social workers, a social worker at the women's shelter, a women's safety coordinator and a chairman of the Social Welfare Committee in the selected commune. When we analyzed the results, we made a hermeneutic analysis with interpretation from an intersectional perspective based in postmodern feminist theory. The result that we have reached as regards the design of the work with honor-related problem is that it is highly influenced by the decisions of women's safety coordinator and politicians. The respondents mentioned the concepts controlling, limiting young people, married off by the family, and that they have little autonomy. Also the patriarchal family pyramid was raised in the definition and that there may be integration problems as a result of the norm-breaking lifestyle that comes with their own culture. The viewpoints which the respondents had on the honor problem we have seen influence how they wish to work. They said that they wanted to educate and inform the newly arrived adults who immigrate to the country, about Swedish laws and regulations. Social workers said that in time they have learned to apply the youth perspective as much as the family perspective which is more than they did before when they rather applied more of a youth perspective.
