AbstractAccording to 3 § in the Equal Opportunities Act should employer fulfil their commitment to their employees and work targeted for the equality in working life. In the report we account for 3?11 §§ Equal Opportunities Act, in purpose to show employer obligations to work actively work for equality between the sexes. This is the main focus of the article and the answer to one of our issue of law. We have also written about how equality work and how the Equal Opportunities Act has grown up, how it work in today?s society and the thoughts about the future.The growth of equality work, the Equal Opportunities Act and a short history are partially written from European law, the Swedish government official reports and in government bills. Today?s work is also presented in the Swedish government official reports, in government bills and interpretations of the active work can be read in the chapter of the Office of the Equal Opportunities. Future thoughts are also written from European law and in the Swedish government official report 2006:22.During the time when we have written the report we have done our practice at Forshaga municipality. During the practice where had to arrange an education day around equality for the municipality leaders and the representatives for the union in Forshaga municipality. In the report you could read about a study we did during the education day. We asked questions to three municipality leaders as well as to the union representative, to further develop the answers and report more detailed about the diversity work. This gave us the second answer of or issue of law and how it works in real life.By way of introduction we used traditional legal method containing both justice dogmatism and justice positivism. On the basis of the justice dogmatism perspective we have used legal sources such as words of an Act and preparatory work from the government. Applicable sections of a law in the report are collected from the Equal Opportunities Act (1991:433). Further on we have used the justice positivism perspective when we done both quantitative and qualitative investigations in shape of inquiry investigations and interviews. The qualitative investigations showed that there was a high reliability since all participants answered the same questions. The qualitative investigations showed to be valid since the questions covered only questions regarding equality work.
