In this episode, Trine Askholm interviews co-writer of the book and Associate Professor Jo Krøjer from Roskilde University, and Bjarke Oxlund, who is Director of Equal Treatment at the Institute of Human Rights.
You will be able to hear Bjarke Oxlund explain why we have human rights and how he and his colleagues work with human rights at the Institute of Human Rights in Denmark.
We talk about the fact, that most people are against discrimination, and everybody think that in Denmark we have that part under control. But in fact, we don’t, discrimination happens every day.
Jo Krøjer tells that typically, when you ask women how it is with equal rights in Denmark, their answers would differ whether they have experienced parenthood or not being in the labor market. A lot of women experience that their employer is not as keen to secure their right to a safe and sound work environment as they are for the men.
Jo Krøjer and Bjarke Oxlund gives the listeners their perspectives about the European directives on equal treatment that we have implemented in Denmark and they discuss the general skepticism when it comes to everything that you might relate to as 'political correctness'.
Many studies shows that the Danish level of modern sexism is very high compared to any comparable society. And modern sexism consists exactly of, at one hand, claiming that you are for gender equality, but on the other hand, being blind to all the gender inequality that happens, and that you perhaps are a partaker in.
Bjarke Oxlund tells that the EU legislation and the EU policies on gender equality has been a progressive force in the Danish political environment transparency as a solution to many of the problems for instance equal pay.
In the interview we come around important aspects of human rights when we talk about psychical assault and victim blaming, consent legislation/ Samtykkelovgivningen, Danish humor and sexist myths.
Guest: Associate Professor Jo Krøjer from Roskilde University, and Bjarke Oxlund, Director of Equal Treatment at the Institute of Human Rights.
