Government reshuffle made history


Parliament Buildings - Stortinget

Following Friday's reshuffle, the Norwegian Government has become historic: For the first time ever there are now more women than men in the Government.

After the resuffle there are 9 men and 10 women ministers in the Norwegian Government.
The first important change in women's representation came in 1986: It made international headlines when prime minister Gro Harlem Brundtland appointed 8 women out of the 18 cabinet ministers.
