Does abuse of power for sex take place in Sweden? This open panel challenges two central aspects of Sweden’s self-image: being non-corrupt and gender-equal. It explores concrete instances of sexual corruption in Sweden and the recent process of developing new legislation to address the problem.
This panel is organized as a part of a three day workshop on sexual corruption organized by the Uppsala University Research Environment on Sexual Corruption. The workshop gathers experts - academic scholars and practitioners - from across the world.
Anyone is welcome to attend the event. It will be followed by an open mingle.
The discussion will be held in English.
