From 2002 to 2006, she was employed at the Ministry of Industry as the Swedish Government's expert on prostitution and trafficking in human beings.
Ekberg's education includes a degree in social work from Lund University, and a law degree from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
[1] In 2005, the program The Gender War criticized Ekberg for telling the reporter Evin Rubar that she could not expect help if she was assaulted, since she opposed the feminist movement.
[2][3] This led to calls for her resignation,[clarification needed] but Equality Minister (Jämställdhetsminister) Jens Orback defended her.
[4] Ekberg later became Co-Executive Director to the lobby group Coalition Against Trafficking in Women International in Brussels, from which she continued to campaign against prostitution around the world,[5] including Bulgaria,[6] Australia,[7] and Vancouver.
