About the Swedish Foreign minister

During the past week have been written several articles about the Swedish Foreign minister and his position about females and their roles in the world. The reason starting those articles was an observation from a Swedish female organization noticing that none of the Foreign minister statements since he started in this role was including the role of women in the diverse situations existing in the world. None concerning females role in peace, none about females role in after-war fights for equality rights... well nothing. This corresponds to either a lack of judgment, a misunderstanding, a simple oversight (well who is he working with then!!?!?!) or a deliberate stance on this matter.... I cannot get a good justification for this (neither did he!). During his trips to meet other countries' representatives he never met the female organizations (when there exist). This mean forgetting a whole active part of the world fighting for peace, democracy and equality of rights for all.

In a country like Sweden lauding equality of opportunities among genders, it sounds quite surprising to have the Swedish ambassador (not literally) having this miss in his meetings and representations. It reflects on the Swedish image not in line with the socio-economic and behavioral reality. Lots is left to do not only to maintain this image but also to change the mentality within.
