Network of municipalities and regions for equality and non-discrimination

YHTA-network is a mailing list for employees in municipalities and wellbeing service counties, who have tasks related to promoting equality and non-discrimination. Employees of organisations and projects engaged in regional equality work may also join the list.

We also organize meetings (YHTA-meetings) for the subscribers of the mailing list to strengthen the flow of information on good practices for promoting equality and non-discrimination and to support equality work in municipalities and wellbeing services counties.

Via the mailing list and meetings, municipalities and wellbeing service counties can receive and transmit up-to-date information on the following

  • equality planning and its implementation
  • recent studies, publications and guides
  • projects and events
  • other operational equality and non-discrimination work.

As a rule, the list is not intended for sharing information on personnel policy or on equality between regions. Commercial bulletins may not be sent via the list.
The Centre for Gender Equality Information (THL) is responsible for coordinating the mailing list together with the Association of Finnish Local and Regional Authorities.
