Womens rights in Norway

[needtimealone]

Does anyone know what it's like to live in Norway for a woman? We have the opportunity to go for work but I don't want to go blind. Ive found documents but it's all quite lawfully written and long and I'm working so haven't got the time to sit and read. Any help is greatly appreciated

What are you concerned about?

Nordic countries normally have better womens rights than other Western countries.

It's Norway, are you confusing it with Saudi Arabia?

I hear that women are forced to eat herring and wear clogs.

OP, two weeks ago you were wanting to leave your abusive DP - which we all encouraged you to do - and go home. Home clearly isn't Norway, or you'd know what it was like.

Why and where has this Norway thing come about all of a sudden?

Who is we? Surely not your abusive DP whom you were going to leave? So I assume this means you and your 6-year old son. Not sure you can just unilaterally leave for another country with your son without his father approving.

No I left, me and ds. Its just an opportunity that has arisen, I'm considering it, not sure if we will,

Though taking ds will be the next hurdle, but I'm not that far down the thought process yet

Language barrier??

Norway is very expensive, regardless of women's rights. However, unless your child's father says you can go, you probably can't.

Under English law you cannot take any child out of the UK without the consent of everyone who has parental responsibility, to do so would be child abduction under the Hague Convention and a criminal offence in the UK.

If you cannot gain the consent of your ex-partner you need to apply for permission of the court. This is often described as ‘leave to remove’.

What about your sister and other family? I remember on your other thread you wanted to go back to your home town because you miss your nan and she's getting old. You'll miss her far more if you move to Norway. I really don't think doing anything like looking into leaving the UK two weeks after leaving your DP of 7 years is remotely wise or sensible. I imagine you would also value the support of your family helping you with DS. Who is going to help you in Norway where you know no one?
