Reykjavík City's Action Plan Against Violence 2022-2024

Description of the action and objectives

Green Deal action

The aim of the Action Plan is to get an overview of the numerous projects the City carries out in its work against violence. Its goal is also to serve as a guide and ensure that these specified projects are carried out.

Implementation period

Planned completion in the second half of 2024

Status: In progress

Status report on January 1, 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.
