Here is the presentation of the Open seminar about gender equality in Tampere Hall:
"Hän refers to the gender-neutral Finnish personal pronoun that treats everyone equally. Finland was the first country to grant women full political rights in 1906. In 1905 the Red Manifesto was read in the Tampere Central Square (picture) demanding political rights. So Tampere played a significant role in the realisation of women’s suffrage. However, globally we still struggle with the same issues like sexual harassment, women’s euro, representation etc.
Tampere is the partner for International Gender Equality Prize, IGEP, owned by the government of Finland.
The prize will be now awarded for the 2nd time on December 2nd
