The theme is equal opportunities regardless of gender in the Sami society, and one question that is asked is: "How equal is Sápmi really?"

And there are several things to work with," says Inga Biret Márjá Triumf, a reindeer herder from Kautokeino on the Norwegian side.

"The sex doesn't matter for the reindeer"

"You have to do more as a woman to show that you can do the job than young men do. I have experienced that if a young man is in the woods doing something wrong, you just say "well, remember not to do that next time". If a young woman is wrong, you immediately say: "It's because you're a woman," says Inga Biret Márjá Triumf.

According to her, there are many young women who want to invest in reindeer husbandry but do not dare, because women are not given the same place as men.

"A voice in my head says 'you're a woman, you don't belong here'. But as long as you know how to work with the reindeer, it doesn't matter to the reindeer whether you are a woman or a man," says Inga Biret Márjá Triumf.

"Menstruation is not a disease"

In other parts of Sápmi, too, gender equality work is lagging behind in a large society, says researcher Rauna Kuokkanen.

With the advent of Christianity in Sápmi, it has become embarrassing to talk about the female body and women's health, according to her. And it lives on to this day.

"One example is menstruation. In Sami we have the word mánnodávda, monthly sickness. But after all, it is not a disease, but a natural process.
