This is who we are

Honor-based violence and oppression is a complex societal challenge that affects both individuals and professionals in several sectors. Many professions are faced with demands to ensure protection, security, and a decent standard of living for people living under honor norms – while methods and tools sometimes need to be adapted based on a changed societal landscape. The project's goal is to strengthen employees' competence in the area, increase knowledge about international working methods, and identify and develop relevant methods and tools that can work in a Swedish context. The work will take place through, for example, international study visits, mini-conferences, and joint method development.
