Evidence snapshot for Denmark
Denmark employs multiple evidence-based strategies to advance gender equality. At the policy level, Denmark's 2022 earmarked parental leave law has measurably increased father participation—fathers' average leave doubled from ~5 to ~10 weeks, and 60% more fathers claimed benefits by July 2025, narrowing the parental income gap. At the grassroots and professional levels, Denmark hosts initiatives like Girl Power, which uses football to empower young girls aged 8-10 from diverse backgrounds, and PWN Copenhagen, which builds gender-balanced leadership networks for professionals. KVINFO, Denmark's national research centre for gender and equality, anchors this ecosystem by producing research and tools to shift norms around gender across society.
