It is sad that we don’t see any improvement in women’s ability to leave a bad relationship. The report also clearly shows that the recession has made us more short-sighted, as we now have a greater focus on increasing interest rates and on inflation. But it is incredibly important that we can keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time and not lose sight of the gender equality issue on a macro level.

We need to talk with each other about money and priorities in our relationships. Ensuring fair conditions for both parties in a relationship is fundamental to equality. It directly links to one of our main focus areas, which is to contribute to increased financial health for more people. In that work the Relationship Report, with the commitment it creates and the educational effect it has, is an important part. For us, everything is connected because sustainability and responsibility are natural parts of the business. This is something that encompass and manifests itself throughout the whole organization, both internally and externally. Our hope is that we with this report can shed further light on the issue of an equal housing market, and that it will be a call for more actors to do the same.
