DIPLOMATIE SCHWEDEN Fotos: SOCIETY/prochnow SOCIETY 1_2016 | 31
DIPLOMATIE SCHWEDEN able to make personal choices irrespective of whether you are a woman or a man. All girls and boys and women and men should have equal access to political and economic opportunities and resources. Efforts to break down stereotypes and unequal treatment must start from a very early age, in kindergarten and school. You have recently opened the „Schwedenhaus“ in Vienna, what are the future plans for the cultural programme? We arrange a lot of cultural activities related to our overall priorities. For instance, we recently had a caricature-exhibition on climate change. In another exhibition, AccessAbility, we wanted to raise awareness of the situation for people with physical or mental disabilities. People with disabilities should have equal access to education, social opportunities, health care, public space, infrastructure, etc. This is an important part of Swedish priorities that we want to share with our visitors. We also had a poetry evening with two of Sweden’s most famous female poets and will soon host the „Swedish Business Award” together with Business Sweden and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce. In May, we saw the opening of the Nordic-Baltic film festival Nordiale with an award-winning film about Swedish migration to Norway. We try to cover a broad area in our cultural activities – from social issues to literature and film. CURRICULUM VITAE H.E. Helen Eduards was born on February 4. 1969. 1994 she finished her University Degree in Political Science, Social Anthropology and History of Economics at University of Stockholm. In 1996 she joined the Diplomatic Training Programme, MFA. 1999-2002, she was Second Secretary at the Swedish Mission to the UN, New York. 2002-03 she served as Desk Officer at the Department for EU Affairs. After that, she was Director and Head of the Unit for International and EU Affairs at the Prime Minister‘s Office. From 2006-07, Eduards had a special assignment at the Department for Eastern Europe and Central Asia. From 2007-10, she was Deputy Director General and Deputy Head of the African Department. From 2010-15 she was Deputy Director General and Head of the Department for Aid Management. Since October 2015, she has been Ambassador to Austria. the first ever officially proclaimed feminist government in the world. This proclamation is really important, in order to raise awareness of what “feminist engagement in government and policy” means. It is about recognizing that there are still structural phenomena everywhere, including Sweden, that disfavor women. There are major inequalities for example in income gaps and earning gaps, the number of hours spent on unpaid household work etc. Also, a large number of women still suffer from domestic violence, which, obviously, is unacceptable. In Sweden, we have a generous parental leave system and daycare centers for children that help women returning to work. For the government, being feminist means that you look at all separate political fields from a gender equality perspective. For example: Why do municipalities often fund football fields and ice hockey rinks – traditionally boys activities - rather than horseback riding or gymnastics, that tend to attract girls? We need to scrutinize who is gaining from public investments, how resources are being used and if there is a possibility to change that. Leaving half of the population behind, is something society cannot afford. For example, calculations show that if more women joined the European labour market, GDP would increase significantly. I have two daughters, and would not want them to be restricted in their life choices by stereotypes or structures in society. You should be What is the trade balance between Austria and Sweden? It is quite balanced, yet we would like it to increase from both sides. We are more or less even when it comes to trade and investments, a bit less when it comes to tourism. We would like to welcome more Austrian tourism to Sweden. I hope that this will change in the future. How important is the royal family to the Swedish population? Our monarchy has always been very important to us. There is a strong support for the monarchy and for Crown Princess Victoria as a person. There are those who believe that the head of state should be elected and not inherit the position. But for the majority, the monarchy has a strong cultural and historical significance. We have been a monarchy for almost 1000 years. The monarchy is an important part of Swedish identity for many people, and many feel that the new generations of the royal family reflect modern values. During her studies of UN-affairs, the Crown Princess was doing an internship at the mission in New York, while I was serving there. I was very impressed with the close interest and commitment of the Crown Princess in global issues. Her Majesty the Queen, who visited Vienna in early June, is very engaged in the wellbeing of children. The royal family can bring across issues that are of interest to a wider audience. • Fotos: SOCIETY/prochnow 32 | SOCIETY 1_2016
