Krombach, November 20th, 2024: - Picture is available at AP - Over the next six years, the Krombacher Brauerei is investing a total of over 100 million euros in the conversion of its bottling plant, in order to position itself for the future.

Jämställdhet är en grundläggande förutsättning för att minska fattigdom och förtryck, och svenska aktörer gör ett viktigt arbete för att driva frågan internationellt. Stora framsteg har gjorts genom åren och just nu ser vi nya kraftfulla rörelser på olika håll i världen: #niunamenos kamp mot könsrelaterat våld i Latinamerika, massprotester mot våldtäkt i Indien och Sydafrika, Women’s marches i USA och inte minst Metoo-rörelsens globala genomslag. Samtidigt är motståndet hårt i en allt mer polariserad värld: Regeringar ser organisationer som kämpar för kvinnors rättigheter som ett hot och hela jämställdhetsbegreppet ifrågasätts. Istället betonas en mer traditionell syn på män och kvinnor, som exkluderar personer med könsöverskridande identitet eller annan sexuell läggning. Det gör Sveriges röst viktigare än någonsin. Vilka är då lösningarna som behövs för att motverka de trender som ifrågasätter jämställdhet? Och hur kan vi stötta dem som går i bräschen för arbetet? Det är några frågor
