ABSTRACT

Five years ago, in 1995, the United Nations extolled Sweden as the most sex equal country in the world. Such resounding kudos is a testament to the efficacy of Sweden's vigorously promoted campaign via sex equality politics in Sweden as well as in the international community. 1 Sweden's self-image corresponds to the image that the international community now has of the country. Both the self-image and image are inaccurate. Sweden has deluded itself and the world.
