The aim of this study is to evaluate schools’ work against honour-related violence and abuse in Sweden, as dictated by the newly introduced curriculum Lgr22. The study focuses on what level of support the school management offers teachers and what additional support teachers request. It also examines what challenges teachers encounter when teaching about this matter and how they overcome these challenges. Interviews with five high school teachers were conducted, and the data was analysed using a qualitative method.The teachers describe a lack of support from their school management. As an example, teachers have not been informed of the changes in the new curriculum regarding this issue, and they are rarely offered any education on the matter. The teachers request further education. When teaching about honour-related violence, respondents worry about inciting racism among students and stigmatising certain students. However, teachers also point out that education on this topic is a good way to counteract racism and the notion that honour-related oppression is an expression of a certain culture or religion. To manage these challenges, when teaching about this subject, teachers commonly refer to Swedish law, human rights, facts, and guidelines from the Swedish national agency for education.
