| Sumario: | According to the latest Global Gender Gap Report (WEF 2011), Denmark ranks as number 7 out of 135 countries, meaning that the country is among the most successful in the world when it comes to gender equality. Much research also points to how this is a dominant understanding within Danish political and media discourse, which in contrast tend to cast immigrant women as gender unequal. The article asks: how might immigrant women living in Denmark challenge the dominant understandings of gender (in)equality? Interviews with 34 leaders of various immigrant women’s organisations demonstrate that the dominant discourse tends to predefine majoritized as well as minoritized positions, which some of the women actively challenge while others do not. Adding their voices to the debate accentuates the predominance of the discourse, as well as the difference between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. |
