Gender equality and equal opportunities – part of an inclusive work environment at SLU

SLU strives to offer an inclusive work environment where students have equal conditions regardless of who they are. This means that students should have equal rights, obligations and opportunities regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age. The work is based on the Discrimination Act and is intended to protect students against discrimination and harassment.

The university will work systematically and preventively to combat discrimination and promote equal rights. The systematic work is called active measures and is described in the Discrimination Act.

Working for gender equality and equal opportunities in the green sector

Equal opportunities are important both during your studies and when you enter the labour market.
SLU has initiated a declaration of intent, in which stakeholders in the green sector are working towards a gender-equal work and study environment. 

SLU is also part of the Swedish Forest Sector's Gender Equality Council. The common vision is ‘An inclusive forest sector where everyone, regardless of gender, has the same power and right to act, influence and develop’. Gender equality in education and employment is one of the council's objectives.
