AdvertisementBoth Icelandic and foreign-born women told BI that though they largely feel safe in Iceland, it's no feminist paradise. "That was like a wake up call for many women," Thorgerdur J. Einarsdóttir, professor of gender studies at the University of Iceland, told BI. Some groups of women are more vulnerable to violence and low wages, including foreign-born women, women with disabilities, and trans women, the interviewees said. Older generations fight so younger ones can flourishBut despite these concerns, the women BI spoke to said that they largely felt safe living in Iceland. Women BI spoke to largely said they felt optimistic about the changes that future generations would bring.

☆ Women in Iceland go on strike for a day to protest pay gap and violence
  + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Tens of thousands of women across Iceland — including the prime minister — are expected to participate in a one-day strike Tuesday in protest of the ongoing gender pay gap and gender-based violence. It is expected to be the largest walkout by Icelandic women in almost 50 years, according to the strike's official website. Close to 90% of Iceland's female population went on strike on October 24, 1975, to demand gender equality. Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir told the Icelandic news site Iceland Monitor that she will refuse to work on the strike day and expects other women in government to join her "in solidarity with Icelandic women." In 2018, a University of Iceland study found that 40% of Icelandic women experience gender-based and sexual violence in their lifetime.

London CNN —Women across Iceland – including the prime minister – will go on strike Tuesday as part of a campaign pushing for greater gender equality in the country. This will be the seventh time that women in Iceland strike in the name of gender equality, campaign organizers said on their official website. “On 24 October, all women in Iceland, including immigrant women, are encouraged to stop work, both paid and unpaid. For the whole day, women (and non-binary people) will strike, to demonstrate the importance of their contribution to society,” organizers said. “They revealed that while Iceland has made internationally recognized progress on gender equality, we have not sufficiently confronted the intersections of gender, racial and class injustices,” she wrote.
