From opera to Slush – how #metoo is changing the Nordics

The global #metoo campaign, which sheds light on sexual harassment and aims to break the culture of the silence surrounding it, has arrived in the Nordics. Many groups in Sweden, from actors and journalists to lawyers and trade union members, have signed petitions. We take a closer look at the situation in Denmark and Finland.

Frustrated border commuters in the south, hopeful border cooperation in the north
