  Timeline Progress description
  January 2024 There is a long waiting list for entry into Reykjavík City's Rainbow Certification program. About 100 workplaces have received Rainbow Certification, with a similar number on the waiting list. The Rainbow Certification program was on hold as of January 1, 2024, due to staffing changes and workload pressures since the fall. The program resumed accepting workplaces off the waiting list at the beginning of 2024.
  July 2023 Several ongoing actions are in place this year. These include education about violence, collecting and publishing statistics, and providing information about services available to violence survivors. A report and improvement proposals were prepared concerning the status of homeless people and violence. Informational materials for disabled people were designed, printed, and distributed with visits to all residential cores.
