The goal of gender equality work in Sweden is for women and men to have the same power and opportunities to shape society and their own lives. The work includes issues of influence, economy, health, education, work, and bodily integrity.

The Equality Authority shall ensure that the government's gender equality policy is implemented effectively by contributing to its execution. The authority's task is to coordinate, monitor, and provide support in various areas of gender equality. The Equality Authority is an LGBTQI strategic authority, which means that the authority shall promote the equal rights and opportunities of LGBTQI individuals in its operations.

The Department for Analysis and Monitoring has a special responsibility for the authority's task of monitoring and analyzing gender equality policy, both nationally and internationally. This involves both ongoing and in-depth monitoring and analysis.
