Abstract

Gender equality has experienced a paradigm shift since the 1990s. Gender equality is positioned as an important issue in global society, and countries are required to make drastic changes in order to close gender disparities. France and Sweden adopt different approaches to promote gender equality. France uses positive action, while Sweden adopts gender mainstreaming. This paper explores how and why France and Sweden use different approaches to promote gender equality before and after the paradigm shift of gender equality. Research methods of this paper include document research and interviews held in these two countries. Interviewees are those who have been involved in the promotion of gender equality in France and Sweden, such as activists, politicians, members of political parties, femocrats, and scholars. France has made significant progress by using positive action. Sweden reached a high level of gender equality before the paradigm shift. However, gender equality in Sweden has stagnated in recent years due to difficulties of implementing gender mainstreaming.
