  1. Antidiscrimination at the workplace On the ground of sexual orientation

  2. HomO The Ombudsman against Discrimination on grounds of Sexual Orientation (in Swedish with the acronym HomO) is appointed by the Swedish Government. The Office of the Ombudsman has the general assignment to counteract homophobia and address discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in all areas of Swedish society.

  3. Tasks • The tasks of the OmbudsmanThe Ombudsman’s general assignment is to address and counteract homophobia and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation in all areas of Swedish society. Sexual orientation is a collective term used to refer to the fact that everyone has a sexual orientation, whether this is gay, lesbian, bisexual or heterosexual. Discrimination is where one person is treated less favourably than another person would be in an analogous situation without objective justification. Homophobia is an ideology, a perception or a conscious value whereby an individual, group or society expresses a strong negative view of homosexuality, or of gay, lesbian and bisexual people. Homophobic attitudes conflict with the principle of equality in dignity and rights for all human beings.
