The Ombudsman against Discrimination on grounds of Sexual Orientation has ceased to exist. On 1 January 2009 the Ombudsman was merged with the other Ombudsmen against discrimination into a new body: the Swedish Equality Ombudsman. The previously existing acts against discrimination were also replaced with a new Discrimination Act. Some of the material on this website may therefore be out of date. For more information, see: www.do.se
Employment – Harassment – RecruitmentA gay man who applied for a job as a nurse at a home for the elderly run by a local town government, complained of harassment during the recruitment procedure and also claimed that harassment, now in the form of his superior repeatedly ‘outing’ him to his colleagues continued after he was hired. During the Ombudsman’s investigation of the case an out of court settlement was reached including the payment by the local government of 80 000 SEK (approx. 8 800 Euros or 11 200 US dollars) to the employee. With this settlement the Ombudsman closed the file. (Decision 9 November 2006, dossier no 246/06) |
