In recent years important steps have been taken by the Icelandic Government to address discrimination against women. Notably, the Althingi, passed a new Act on Equal Status and Equal Rights of Women and Men on 6 March 2008, which includes several important provisions aimed at combating discrimination against women. The Icelandic Human Rights Centre welcomes this new Act although several issues call for stronger measures.
