Preventive Work and Support

The election manifesto makes it a right to receive help with a long-term secure housing solution for those leaving intimate partner violence and requires that the social services are guaranteed sustained support in work against intimate partner violence. The counter-proposal requires precisely clear procedures for healthcare, social services, protected housing and counselling support, a review of women's shelters and clearer rules for financial support. The party programme also states that work against men's violence must be prioritised in line with the scope of crime, which speaks against current measures being sufficient.

The election manifesto promises tough action against men's violence against women and that we will continue the direction that has increased funding to women's and girls' crisis centres. The counter-proposal's requirement for clear procedures for health care, social services and protected housing as well as a review of the crisis centres' operations lies in line with this commitment. The plan moreover wants to strengthen social services, which is the precondition for a standardised and quick process for those subjected to violence. The plan therefore speaks in favour of the counter-proposal's requirement.

• tough action against men's violencedecisive»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tough action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and men's violence against women.”

The election manifesto promises a door out for violence victims throughout the country, where responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after break-up, and the party programme demands that violence in intimate relationships is handled quickly and in a coordinated manner and that women's support organizations get better conditions. The counter-proposal's demand for a standardized, quick process, review of the organizations and guaranteed maintenance with protected identity is the same thing.

• coordinated support immediately after break-updecisive»skapa en dörr ut för våldsutsatta i hela landet, så att ansvaret för skydd, boende och vård samordnas direkt efter uppbrottet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“create a door out for violence victims throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after break-up.”

• strengthened women's support organizations»Vi vill ha fler mansmottagningar och kvinnojourer och bättre förutsättningar för dessa.« (party programme ↗)“We want more men's crisis centres and women's support organizations and better conditions for these.”
• protection with protected identity»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that violence victims women forced to hide themselves shall get stronger protection and that more who perpetrate violence shall get electronic monitoring.”

The manifesto explicitly promises to strengthen the victim perspective, to end post-violence and that women's centres, youth centres and protected housing shall have long-term and permanent funding. It also promises strengthened protection for families with protected identity. The counter-proposal's requirements for standardized procedures for violence survivors, review of the centres and clearer financial support for protected identity are precisely the measures the plan calls for.

• long-term support for women's centresdecisive»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas och eftervåldet upphöra. Vi vill att elektronisk fotboja används i fler fall vid kontaktförbud och säkra det långsiktiga stödet till kvinnojourer, tjejjourer och skyddade boenden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim perspective must be strengthened and post-violence must end. We want electronic ankle monitors to be used in more cases of contact bans and secure long-term support for women's centres, youth centres and protected housing.”

The plan requires increased action against violence against women with better protection and support for victims and new national support for secure housing. The party programme also stipulates that women's shelters are an indispensable complement needed throughout the country and shall have good and long-term conditions, and that victim support is a main task for social services. The counter-proposal's requirements for standardized procedures, review of the shelters, and clearer financial support for protected persons directly follow from these commitments.

• national support for secure housingdecisive»Vi vill se en ökad handlingskraft mot sexuellt våld och våld mot kvinnor genom bland annat högre straff för sexualbrott och ett bättre skydd och stöd för offren. Ett nationellt stöd för skyddade boenden ska införas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see increased action against sexual violence and violence against women through, among other things, higher penalties for sexual crimes and better protection and support for victims. National support for secure housing shall be introduced.”
• women's shelters throughout the country»kvinnojourerna är ett omistligt komplement till det offentligas insatser. De behövs i hela landet« (party programme ↗)“women's shelters are an indispensable complement to public services. They are needed throughout the country”
• victim support as a main task»Insatser för att stödja brottsoffer är ett huvuduppdrag för både rättsväsende och socialtjänst.« (party programme ↗)“Measures to support crime victims are a main task for both the justice system and social services.”
• housing for victims of violence»ett nytt system med behovsbostäder ska införas för grupper med särskilt stora bostadsbehov, såsom våldsutsatta och familjer med mycket svag ekonomi« (2022 manifesto ↗)“a new system with need-based housing shall be introduced for groups with particularly large housing needs, such as victims of violence and families with very weak economic circumstances”

The plan establishes that victims of violence shall be given adequate support and protection and that effective case handling requires well-trained staff and well-functioning cooperation between agencies. A standardised and expedited process with clear procedures between healthcare, social services and sheltered housing is exactly what the plan asks for, as is a review of secrecy so that agencies can share information. Therefore the demand is supported.

• effective handling of violence casesdecisive»Effektiv handläggning av ärenden som rör våld i nära relationer förutsätter välutbildade medarbetare hos polis,« (party programme ↗)“Effective handling of cases involving violence in close relationships presupposes well-trained staff at police,”
• agency cooperation»väl fungerande samarbete mellan myndigheterna« (party programme ↗)“well-functioning cooperation between agencies”
• authorities shall share information»Total översyn av sekretessreglerna, så att myndigheter kan dela uppgifter mellan sig för att förebygga och klara upp brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Complete review of secrecy rules, so that authorities can share information between them to prevent and solve crime.”
• better care for vulnerable»BÄTTRE OMSORG FÖR UTSATTA« (2022 manifesto ↗)“BETTER CARE FOR VULNERABLE”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan has explicit commitments to strengthen women's shelters, strengthen the position of crime victims and ease payment of compensation, and to establish specialised units for violence in close relationships. The counter-proposal demands exactly coordinated and rapid care of abuse victims, a review of women's shelters, and clearer rules for financial support. The plan's commitments therefore support the demand.

• strengthened women's sheltersdecisive»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”
• rapid financial support to crime victims»Underlätta utbetalningen av ersättning till brottsoffer för att minska lidandet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ease payment of compensation to crime victims to reduce suffering”
• specialised support in violence in close relationships»Införa särskilda grupper i varje polisregion som är specialiserade på sexualbrott och våld i nära relation för att fler anmälda brott ska leda till lagföring och straff« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce special units in each police region specialising in sexual offences and violence in close relationships so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution and punishment”
• protection for crime victims»Stärka skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen protection for witnesses and crime victims”

The plan explicitly requires an action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships and that the victim's position and support be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demand for a standardized and quick process with clear procedures, a review of women's shelters and clearer rules for financial support is precisely a concretization of that commitment. The plan also wants to improve the possibilities for contact bans.
