Swedish equality unit slammed for inequality

Those wacky Swedes:
The Swedish government's unit for coordinating equality policies and distributing funding to equality organisations has come under fire for its own inequality: only 3 out of 28 employees are men.

"It's not good. A more equal gender balance is important to show that they are serious about these issues," said Eva Nikell at the Equality Ombudsman's office, Jämo, to TT.
