The aim of this study is to answer one question: How can teachers work with gender equality in teaching with the help of socially oriented subjects? To be able to achieve the purpose of this study a search was made in several databases with some keywords in restriction. There are various scientific texts selected for our research. To get the most useful scientific texts we used English while searching to get a successful finding of relevant texts. The texts have different perspectives to problematize and dispute the issue. A review of the data also illustrates the complexity and lack of clear answers to the key question. The results show many different approaches but a certain denominator is the teacher- student relationship. It really requires an understanding of gender equality and teachers´ commitment for change. The study showed that Swedish teachers and schools have a completely different approach to equality compared to other countries such as New Zealand and England. In Sweden, the teacher saw the gender equality task as very important, but also considered that we have some way to go and much to improve as it is not completely equal. In New Zealand and England they described that girls were one way and boys another and described how a girl should be and also how a boy should be. Another study showed that by having surveys and themes, it contributed to a learning environment where gender equality came up more and was discussed with the students. Sweden is one of the top countries that works based on gender equality in its education.
