The aim of this study was to analyze society's efforts for girls who are victims of honorrelatedviolence and oppression. More specifically its aim was to examine what efforts thesociety can offer girls who are exposed to honor-related violence and oppression, and howsocial services and shelters cooperate on issues of honor. We have chosen to focus on girlswho are victims of honor-related violence, but we are aware that even boys and men face thisproblem. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach through interviews. Tocomplete the study we have conducted eight interviews throughout Sweden. We haveinterviewed staff at three different social services and four different shelters. This was toexamine how society operates with honor-related problems but also to investigate how thedifferent services and activities interact. The key findings that emerged from our study arethat girls from honor cultures find themselves in a dilemma when they decide to seek helpbecause of violence and oppression. On one hand, they are unable to live by familyconstraints while on the other hand they do not get the possibility of total freedom if they fleethe home. Society's efforts today include protection, support and guidance for these girls, butaccording to our informants, this is not enough. They feel that what is missing is an effort tohelp the girls after their stay at shelters because they often become isolated when they begin anew life, in a new city, all alone.

Våld i nära relation förekommer i alla samhällsklasser. Syftet med studien var att få fördjupad kunskap kring olika samhällsinstansers arbete i närområdet kring våldsutövare och våldsutsatta i våld i nära relation, samt hur de arbetar med att minska våldet. Intervjuer genomfördes med åtta olika samhällsaktörer för att få reda mer och undersöka våld i nära relation. Genom att använda normkritiska glasögon vill studien undersöka om resultatet stöder antagandet att ett samhällsnormbrytande beteende härstammar från normer. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade med en intervjuguide med öppna frågor. Det empiriska materialet analyserades med tematisk analys. Resultatet visar på att våldet i nära relation är fysiskt våld som ofta är kombinerat med andra olika former av som sexuellt och psykiskt våld. Våldet i våld i nära relation leder förutom fysiska skador och psykiska besvär, till långsiktiga konsekvenser för de enskilda individerna, samhället och familjen. Våld i nära relation anses som ett stort samhällsproblem både internationellt och i Sverige ochär en kränkning mot de mänskliga rättigheterna. Det svenska samhällets ansvar är arbeta förebyggande mot våld i nära relation och samtidigt stödja de medborgare som är och varit utsatta för våld i nära relation. Resultatet visat att Trollhättans stad samarbetar med flera olika samhällsinstanser för att motverka mäns våld i nära relation och de ligger i framkant i Sverige när det gäller att förebygga och samtidigt minska konsekvenserna som uppstår i våld i nära relation och samtidigt sänka samhällskostnaderna / Violence in close relationship occurs in all social classes. The purpose of the study was to gain in-depth knowledge of the work of various social institutions concerning violence and particularly violence in close relationships, as well as how they work to reduce violence. Interviews were conducted with eight different actors in society to find out more and to investigate violence in close relationships. Using a norm-critical perspective, the study investigated whether the results support the assumption that a society-breaking behavior stems from norms. The interviews were semi-structured with an open-ended interview guide. The empirical material was analyzed with thematic analysis. The result shows that the violence in close relationship is physical violence, often combined with other forms of sexual and psychological violence. The violence in close relationships leads in addition to physical injuries and mental disorders, to long-term consequences for the individual individuals, society and the family. Violence in close relationship is considered a major social problem both internationally and in Sweden and is an infringement of human rights. The responsibility of Swedish society is to work against violence in close relation while supporting the citizens who are and have been exposed to violence in a close relation. The result showed that Trollhättan's city collaborates with several different social institutions to counter men's violence in close relationships and that they are at the forefront in Sweden in preventing and at the same time reducing the consequences of violence in close relationships while reducing social costs.

The honor killing of Fadime Sahindal in 2002 sparked a debate in Swedish media about honor-related violence and oppression. As a professional social worker, it is important to have knowledge in the field to help young women who are exposed to honor-related violence and oppression. The aim of this study is to analyze the working methods and attitudes of social workers and their discretion in the work of honor-oppressed young women. The study is based on six qualitative interviews conducted with professional social workers. Through the interviews, the social workers' experiences, thoughts and opinions about the social service's way of working with honored young women were highlighted. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and interpreted by the theory of honor and discretion. The results show that social workers do not have the right knowledge about honor problems and that they do not have the right tools to meet these young women who are exposed to violence and oppression. / <p>I samband med rådande situation (Covid-19) hölls presentationen via Zoom. </p>
