Åström has been at the forefront of gender equality advocacy for decades, playing a key role in shaping policies and driving change. She has led several government inquiries on gender equality, served as chair of the Swedish Women’s Lobby, and worked extensively to integrate gender perspectives into political and economic structures. Her insights have influenced legislation, corporate policies, and public discourse on how to create a more equal society.

At JLOF, we are committed to strengthening women’s rights and promoting gender equality through education, advocacy, and community engagement – both in Sweden and Uganda. Our work includes initiatives to prevent and combat violence against women, as well as efforts to involve men and boys in gender equality work. 

With decades of experience in gender policy, Åström has played a crucial role in dismantling structural barriers and promoting inclusive societies. Her expertise offers key insights into how we can drive sustainable change. 

We are honored to welcome Gertrud Åström and look forward to an engaging and impactful discussion on April 9th!
