Malmö University: Faculty of Health and Society, Department of Social Work, January 2021.  The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of how a group of female newly arrived refugees wish that the school teach, discuss and give information concerning virginity and virginity norms in a school context.  The study focuses on virginity norms hence they constitute a central part of the honour-related violence. Previous studies indicate that there is a strong connection between virginity norms and honour-related violence and oppression and that the preventive work against that could be dealt with in school. Both professionals who meet female refugees as well as researchers, highlight the importance of cultural knowledge when talking about sex and reproduction. Furthermore, recently made surveys indicate that virginity norms are affecting adolescents negative.   The data in this study was collected through focus-group discussions with three different ethnically homogeneous groups. The study uses Foucault’s theories about discourse, power and cultural relativism. The results of this study indicate that a cultural sensitive approach in the preventive work against honour-related violence and oppression is important. The informants wish that the information and discussions concerning virginity norms should be given in gender-separated groups by female professionals. The informants opinions concerning the methods used in giving such information does not entirely correlate with the material published by RFSU and Youmo. Despite some similarities, the informants in this study emphasizes their own cultural background, the impact of their religion and the sensitivity concerning topics like virginity and virginity norms.
