When Donald Trump took his place in the Oval Office last month, one of his first acts as President was to sign a series of executive orders: one of which reinstated the Mexico City policy, commonly known as the 'global gag' on abortion.
Introduced in 1984 by then-President Ronald Reagan, the 'gag' prevents US dollars from funding charities that provide abortion services and education, and will make it more difficult for women around the world to access reproductive healthcare, especially in developing countries.
A widely circulated photo showed Trump signing the executive order, while surrounded by a group of men. As comedian Martin Belam put it in a Tweet, 'As long as you live, you'll never see a photograph of 7 women signing legislation about what men can do with their reproductive organs.'
Late last week, Isabella Lovin, Sweden's deputy Prime Minister and Climate Minister, released a photo of herself that seemed strikingly familiar in its composition - with one major difference.
The picture, posted on Lovin's Twitter account, shows the Minister signing a climate bill, as seven of her female colleagues look on. It's hard not to see it as Trump trolling of the highest order - particularly given the content of the bill, which pledges that Sweden will become carbon neutral by 2014. The new President, in contrast, has gone on record as sceptical about climate change, while many of his closest advisors have denied it outright.
'We are a feminist government, which shows in this photo. Ultimately it is up to the observer to interpret the photo,' Lovin explained, adding 'There is a global demand for climate leadership. I want to show that Sweden is ready to take that leadership.'
Sweden regularly comes out on top when it comes to gender equality, and 43% of seats in its national parliament are currently held by women (compared to 29% in the UK).
The Government of Sweden's official website describes it as 'the first feminist government in the world,' meaning that 'gender equality is central to the Government's priorities - in decision-making and resource allocation. A feminist government ensures that a gender equality perpsective is brought into policy-making on a broad front, both nationally and internationally.'
It seems this is just another leaf we should be taking from the Swedes' books...
