Quotes about equality

quote
Annika Strandhäll
Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Sweden, and chair of the Nordic Council of Ministers for Health and Social Affairs
“The Nordic countries have chosen different paths but have had the common goal of giving women and men equal opportunities in working life. Several surveys show that the Nordic region is the world's most gender equal region, and this report shows the great social benefits that go with an effective gender equality policy.”
quote
Ángel Gurría
OECD Secretary-General
“Gender equality is both a fundamental human right and a key driver of inclusive growth. Nordic countries have moved further along the path to gender equality than most other OECD countries. Closing the remaining gaps would drive further economic and social benefits but will require a renewed commitment.”
quote
Børge Brende
Former Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs
“It’s not mobile phones, cars, or oil that have been the Nordic Region’s primary generator of growth. Gender equality is our most valuable investment.”
