Att utöva våld i hederns namn har historiskt sätt existerat länge och kvinnor som gjorde sig skyldiga till utomäktenskapliga eller föräktenskapliga relationer fick allvarliga påföljder. Syftet med studien var att se hur olika yrkesverksamheter så som kvinnojouren, polisen, kuratorer och barnmorskor arbetar och samarbetar i hedersrelaterade ärenden och undersökt vilka komplikationer kan förekomma. Fjorton deltagare intervjuades. Hedersrelaterat våld präglas av patriarkala kulturer som innefattar hierarkisystem där underordnade individer tar skuld för skam. Resultatet visar att isoleringen från samhället och det sociala livet börjar stegvis och i tidig ålder. Det börjar att flickorna måste minska sociala umgängeskretsen därefter minskar de på träningstimmarna och desto äldre flickan blir desto mer ökar familjens kontrollbehov. Det är viktigt för yrkespersonerna att i detta sammanhang fånga upp signaler och upptäcka ”lindrigare våld” som kan tyda på hedersrelaterad problematik. Hedersrelaterat våld är ett komplext i den meningen att varje fall är unikt och problematikens grad varierar från fall till fall detta gäller även graden av våld och förtryck.

El presente trabajo se basa en la metodología cualitativa, el mismo que obedece al análisis de los divergentes pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales de nuestros tribunales, en la evaluación y calificación de la gravedad de la falta de injuria y faltamiento de palabra para habilitar el despido del trabajador, teniendo como propósito unificar las peculiaridades que configuran a la injuria y faltamiento de palabra, como falta “grave” que justifique el despido del trabajador. Asimismo este análisis responde debido a que el despido por falta grave de injuria o faltamiento de palabra consagrado en el articulo 25 inciso f) de productividad y competitividad laboral, sólo refiere sí el trabajador incurre en injuria o faltamiento de palabra, el empleador en ejercicio de su potestad sancionadora lo despedirá, al volverse insostenible el vínculo laboral; ante ello, el mencionado artículo no establece la “gravedad” de la falta para facultar el despido, quedando una libre valoración de esta que podría transgredir los derechos fundamentales del trabajador.

The aim of this study is to examine how girls from the discussion group "Coolt med koll" understand the phenomenon honor-related violence. The study is based upon three issues; how do our informants understand honor-related violence, where do the interviewed obtain information concerning honor-related violence and how do it affect their point of view, last but not least what do the girls know regarding children‟s rights. The theoretical points of this study are theories about honor-related living conditions and radical feminist theory. The study is carried out through six semi-structured qualitative interviews, which all are conducted separately. The results of this study obtained that the informants have limited knowledge of honor-related violence and that it‟s further difficult for them to connect the term with its context. The interviewed obtain a cultural and religious perspective when they highlight the phenomenon. The results also shows that the informants collect information about honor-related violence from different sources, their understandings differ depending on where they have gained information. Further the results reveal that half of our interviewees are well aware of children‟s rights and half of our interviewees are not.

After the honor killings of Fadime and Pela, an extensively discussion started in the media, debating honor-related violence and oppression. This debate also made us, the authours of this paper, to pay attention to the problem. As a professional in social work, there are several good points to be made by having an in-depth knowledge in the field, both to discover individuals exposed to honor-related violence and to be able to protect them. The study was conducted by four qualitative interviews with professionals in social work with a professional experience of honor-related problems. Through the interviews, the social worker's view of honor problems emerged. The overall aim of this paper was to analyze how professional social workers relate to the phenomenon of honor-related violence, and how the problems are made visible. A second aim was to show how social services can protect individuals exposed to honor-related violence based on current legislation. Our results demonstrate that the professionals' knowledge is critical to whether honor contexts are discovered and for its continuing work on these cases.
