Panel debate: Nordic ministers gather forces for young LGBTI people’s wellbeing
The Nordics have long been progressive in the LGBTI area, but there are still many challenges to address. Experiences of depression, anxiety and stress should not be part of young lives in the Nordic region. In a brand-new report, studies from the region find that norms do not allow young LGBTI people to feel normal and accepted at school, in healthcare or in leisure time.
In this panel debate, Nordic ministers will launch the new report and discuss how the region can ramp up its work to improve and safeguard the rights and wellbeing of LGBTI children and youth.
Panelists:
Thomas Blomqvist, Minister for Nordic Cooperation and Equality, Finland
Peter Hummelgaard, Minister for Equal Opportunities, Denmark
Märta Stenevi, Minister for Gender Equality and Housing, Sweden
Abid Raja, Minister of Culture and Equality, Norway
Jayathma Wickramanayake, UN Envoy on Youth
Moderated by Jani Toivola, Actor and Author of Boy in the Red Skirt, Finland
Where: 1:1 Democracy Square, Øksnehallen, Halmtorvet 9, 1700 Copenhagen (or livestream)
