Ysätters-Kajsa
Ysätters-Kajsa was a ''wind-troll'' that people in the Swedish province of Närke used to believe in; probably the only one of her kind in Scandinavia. The Swedish writer Selma Lagerlöf immortalised Ysätters-Kajsa in the first part of Chapter 24 of her famous novel ''The Wonderful Adventures of Nils'' (1906–1907). She wrote that in the Swedish province of Närke, in the old days, there lived a troll named Ysätters-Kajsa. She was named ''Kajsa'' because wind-trolls used to be called by that name. Her cognomen Ysätter came from the swamp Ysätter () in Asker parish where she was born. She appeared to have lived in Asker parish, but she played jokes on people all over Närke and was unique to that region. Portrayal by Lagerlöf Ysätters-Kajsa was not a dark and gloomy troll, but a happy and playful one. What she liked most was a real gale. As soon as there was enough wind she would leave her home to go dance on the Närke flatland. Närke is essentially nothing but a flatla ...

Kajsa Wahlberg
Kajsa Wahlberg is Sweden's national rapporteur on human trafficking opposition activities. She holds the title of Detective Inspector, and serves on the Swedish Police Authority's human trafficking unit, of which she is the head. Wahlberg estimated that the number of prostitutes in the country dropped 40% between 1998 and 2003 because of Sweden's passing of the 1999 ''Kvinnofrid'' law that made selling sex legal, but buying sex illegal. In 2005, she said that the effectiveness of the ''Kvinnofrid'' law is limited by the fact that not all of the country's police authorities make enforcing this particular law a priority, with many police authorities allocating more of their resources to combat the illegal drug trade. In 2008, she said that large numbers of foreign politicians and law enforcement officials were coming to Sweden looking to study the ''Kvinnofrid'' law. She also said, "We don't have a problem with prostitutes. We have a problem with men who buy sex." In March of that ye ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
