This study examines the development of mäns våld mot kvinnor (men's violence against women) in Sweden from a phrase to a category by examining the phrase’s frequency, meaning and application in the Swedish state's public investigations (SOU) and media in the years 1994-2015. The study shows that the frequency of the phrase increase and the category develops during 2010’s decade when the phrase men’s violence against women is applied as collective term, on structures and social mechanisms. Men’s violence against women as a category in the Swedish politics include equality, attitudes, gender, same-sex relationships and other types of violence and crimes such as honor violence, child violence and stalking.
