Rättviseförmedlingen is called Equalisters in English. Equal for equality, and listers for all the people who contribute to the massive lists that we compile of people who can serve as alternatives to prevailing norms.

Equalisters is an equality project aiming to correct the imbalances of representation in media, culture, business and other contexts. We believe that when it comes to including competent women and people from other underrepresented groups, excuses that claim that “there just weren’t any”, are no longer good enough.

To prove our point and contribute to a more equal society, we provide a service that generates positive, proactive, and concrete recommendations, compiled in long lists of people who can balance up inequalities of representation in any given context.

Using vast social networks, Equalisters enables organisations, companies, or journalists to find alternatives to the norm who will contribute to more equal representation when looking for experts, lecturers, directors, comedians, DJs, helicopter pilots, clowns, or any other areas – obscure or mainstream – of expertise.

Equalisters is a social service, which utilizes the powerful dynamics of crowdsourcing (or group powering) to contribute to a more democratic, fair, and equal society. Our vision is a society where people are not defined and constrained by their gender, origin, ethnicity, physical ability, age, or any other categories that tend to wrongly define who we are and what we get to take part of in society.

Equalisters was started as Rättviseförmedlingen in Sweden, where it has enjoyed great success, growing into a movement of more than 24,000 people during its first year. The non-profit initiative has accumulated experiences, best practices and tools that are now available to people around the world who want to make their society more equal and who are open to alternatives to the dominant norms in representation and participation.
