 
    
    Here are some of the things Kvinnofronten in Sweden fights for and struggles 
    against:
    

    Sweden was the first country in the world to criminalize the "johns" 
    in prostitution, but there are few restrictions against pornography. And pornography 
    is found everywhere around us in our daily lives. 
    

Ever 
    since Kvinnofronten started in the 1970's we've been doing a lot of work against 
    pornography and prostitution. During the 1980's Kvinnofronten took the initiative 
    to build 
The People's 
    Organisation against Pornography (
Folkaktionen mot 
    Pornografi  FmP) that existed in Sweden between 1985 and 1999. 
    We made a slide lecture that later both FmP and Kvinnofronten traveled with 
    all around Sweden. We've also published studies we've made on pornography.
    The most recent booklet we've published (and translated to English and Finnish 
    in 2013) is a collection of arguments on prostitution (

    "Read more" in the menue above).
    

Many 
    of us members in Kvinnofronten are also engaged in the Women's Shelter movement 
    or against male sexual violence in other ways.

    can read more about the Swedish struggle against pornography at the Folkaktionen 
    mot Pornografi's web site (

    6 hour work days is another demand that Kvinnofronten have had all from the 
    beginning. As well as good child day-care centers for children, that should 
    be free of charge. We also fight all attempt to try to change our legal right 
    to abortion. And of course, in a country where women's wages compared to men's 
    have been reduced every year during the last twenty years, we keep fighting 
    for wages to live on.
    

In 
    the recent years every day life has become increasingly harder for women, 
    especially working class women. The continuos cut downs in the social services 
    hit all women with low wages hard, not to mention single mothers. The fight 
    against the cut downs in the social services and for a shorter normal work 
    day is more important than ever.

    Kvinnofronten is also, as most people in Sweden, against the Swedish membership 
    in the European Union. We want Sweden to leave the European Union, and we 
    definitely do not want our country to join the monetary union or the WEU.
    

    Since the oppression of women has become so "normal" in all society, 
    we need the support of each other to be able to stand up against the oppression 
    and make a change.
    

Therefore 
    sisterhood is so important. We want to give each other the courage to believe 
    in our selves, to dare more and to see that we can make a change  if 
    we do it together.
    

Ever 
    since Kvinnofronten started in the 1970's, that is, long before the expression 
    
intersectionality was coined, we wrote in our 
    platform that the sisterhood must be regardless of color, ethnicity, religion, 
    age, ability, sexual preference or nation boundaries.
