The Essence and Content of the Principle of Gender Equality in the Texts of Normative Legal Acts of the Scandinavian Countries
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the category of "gender equality" in the system of some normative legal acts of the Scandinavian countries. The purpose of the work is to show the effectiveness of legal regulation and ensuring the principle of gender equality in the legal policy of this group of states. Guided by the hermeneutic methodology, the authors came to the conclusion that the positive experience of dealing with discriminatory factors is characteristic of modern Sweden. The very concept and term "discrimination" is clearly formulated and defined at the level of regulatory regulation. The Swedish legislator also specifies the manifestations and forms of discriminatory actions.
The publication shows that in Norway one has to observe the concept of establishing specialized government structures. The Norwegian Ministry of Children and Family Affairs includes a special department for gender equality. All this objectively contributes to the effective construction and promotion of true equality for both sexes.
It was established that acting in accordance with other Scandinavian countries, the Danish legislator adopted a special law “On gender equality”. The content of the concept of gender equality, as follows from the text of this document, includes the principle of equal social integration, and is inextricably linked with the concept of equal influence of men and women and their equal opportunities in all spheres of society
It is also emphasized that the content and essence of the principle of gender equality in the legislation of Norway, Sweden and Denmark is directly related to such categories as "women's rights", "prohibition of discrimination", "equal social integration" and "equality of men and women".
