DO is investigating the city of Gothenburg for the educational material Angry Monkeys

The educational material 'Arga apor' (Clever Monkeys), used by the social services in Gothenburg, has faced strong criticism and been halted due to allegations of racism. The material, which uses monkeys to illustrate emotions, was reported to the Swedish Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) for potentially violating anti-discrimination laws. DO has initiated an investigation into whether the social administration in Northeast Gothenburg followed the discrimination law after using this material. The local social services welcomed the review and stated they would cooperate fully. Employees within the administration had previously criticized the material for having racist undertones, noting that comparing Black people to monkeys is a hate crime.
