Iceland ranks among global leaders in gender equality. The journey spans from equal inheritance rights in 1850 and suffrage in 1915 to the Women’s Strike in 1975 and the world’s first democratically elected woman president in 1980. Bold efforts and collective action by the women’s movement shaped Iceland’s path to equality. We celebrate the progress and keep moving forward on fair pay, shared care, safety, and equal voice.
