Action plan to combat men's violence against women, violence and oppression in the name of honour and violence in same-sex r
In the autumn of 2007, the Government adopted an action plan to combat men's violence against women, violence and oppression in the name of honour and violence in same-sex relations. A total of just over SEK 1 billion was invested in 56 different measures during the electoral period.
The measures under the action plan are general, but specific measures are sometimes carried out to combat violence and oppression in the name of honour.
The action plan covers six areas for action that are all important in their own right, but that also complement and strengthen each other.
These areas for action are:
- better protection and support for people subjected to violence;
- enhanced preventive work;
- enhanced quality and efficiency in the legal system;
- development of measures directed at the perpetrators of violence;
- increased collaboration; and
- better knowledge.
