One conclusion is that the images of the ?immigrant? and the ?immigrant women? are created opposite to the ?Swedes?

When it comes to political representation, all over the world women almost always make up a minority of representatives in the legislative bodies. The Scandinavian countries in general and Sweden in particular have though been exceptions to this rule with, when compared to other countries, a rather high percentage of women in elected positions.

Den 11 september 2001 innebar början på en stor förändring i amerikansk inrikes och utrikespolitik.

AKVA-U på Universitetssjukhuset MAS är en sådan avdelning. Syftet med studi

Kvinnomisshandel är idag ett etablerat samhällsproblem. Också i massmedia får detta problem stor uppmärksamhet. När kvinnomisshandel diskuteras kan det kännas som om kvinnan skuldbeläggs.
