A podcast about gender and equality in Sápmi
Concepts connected to gender equality such as gender, queer, feminism, masculinity, are words that express a political will to treat individual people equally, regardless of identities and definitions.
“To you, young men and women, I would like to say a word. Our people's future lies in your hands.
Therefore, come forward, brothers and sisters from the Swedish side of Sápmi, to work for the oppressed; acquire all the education you can get, support the weak in the struggle for existence and think about our future goal!
To you, our old, hardened by adversity. Not a single Sámi must be missing from our society.”
This writes Elsa Laula in 1904 in the pamphlet Within Life or Death? True words about Lapp conditions. In her perspective, gender and generations were a part of developing and strengthening our society. This is also a way to understand Sámi equality.
In this podcast, the Saami Council and Suoma Sámiid Guovddášsearvi explore how we talk about gender equality, and how to raise the topic in public conversations.
The podcast is hosted by Anne Wuolab. The technical production is done by Forest People.
Intromusic: Alex MakeMusic - Good Days.

Episode 1: Men and equality
In this podcast we look at how we should talk about equality and issues that touch upon equality in a Sámi context. The host of this podcast is Ánddaid Ánne, Anne Wuolab. Sápmi has few men, if any, who publicly talk about equality, so we can ask where are they and why does it not engage them? Lasse Valkeapää lives in Anár and works for the Sámi Parliament. He was one of the participants in the gender hub on equality, which discussed men's gender roles.
