Strengthened tenant protections

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that it must be a right to receive help with a long-term safe housing solution for those who need it to leave domestic violence. The plan also links state responsibility for housing construction to enabling women to leave a home they share with a perpetrator. Marking that the inquiry into rental protection must be completed and lead to concrete measures is thereby the plan's stance.

• right to safe housing solutiondecisive»Vänsterpartiet anser att det därutöver måste vara en rättighet att få hjälp med en långsiktig trygg boendelösning för den som behöver det för att lämna våldsutsatthet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party holds that it must additionally be a right to receive help with a long-term safe housing solution for those who need it to leave domestic violence.”
• housing enables leaving»Ett ökat statligt ansvar för att bygga bort bostadsbristen kommer också att göra det möjligt för många av de kvinnor som idag inte har något boendealternativ att lämna den bostad som hon delar med en förövare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increased state responsibility for eliminating the housing shortage will also make it possible for many women who today have no housing alternative to leave the home they share with a perpetrator.”
• living conditions complicate leaving»hur skillnader i levnadsomständigheter kan försvåra för många kvinnor att söka stöd för att ta sig ur en våldssituation.« (party programme ↗)“how differences in living conditions can make it difficult for many women to seek help in escaping a violence situation.”
• equivalent protection nationwide»Samhället behöver också garantera att alla kvinnor oberoende av kommun har likvärdig tillgång till en kvinnojour där de kan söka råd, få stöd eller få plats i ett skyddat boende.« (party programme ↗)“Society also needs to guarantee that all women regardless of municipality have equivalent access to a women's crisis centre where they can seek advice, receive support or obtain a place in a protected home.”

The plan promises action against men's violence against women and violence in close relationships and increased resources for support to the affected; the party programme makes safety in one's own home a welfare issue and sees housing as a social right. That abuse victims should be able to obtain a new permanent residence to escape the perpetrator follows from that. The inquiry's procedural arrangements do not concern the plan.

• support to abuse victimsdecisive»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor. Vi vill fort sätta den politiska riktning som skärpt straffen för våld och andra kränkningar i nära relationer, och som ökat resurserna till kvinno- och tjejjourernas viktiga arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and men's violence against women. We want to continue the political direction that has toughened sentences for violence and other violations in close relationships, and that has increased resources to women's and girls' shelters' important work.”
• safety in one's own home»Till välfärdspolitiken hör också tryggheten på gator och torg och i det egna hemmet.« (party programme ↗)“Security on streets and squares and in one's own home also belongs to welfare policy.”
• housing as a social right»socialdemokrater ser bostaden som en social rättighet och bostadspolitiken som en del av« (party programme ↗)“social democrats see housing as a social right and housing policy as part of”
• right to freedom and security»människors rätt till liv i frihet och säkerhet måste alltid försvaras.« (party programme ↗)“people's right to life in freedom and security must always be defended.”

The election manifesto demands a way out for victims of violence throughout the country where responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the breakup, and that women who have broken free shall get their lives back. That a strengthened tenant protection for crime victims must be implemented and lead to concrete measures is precisely this commitment.

• coordinated housing and protectiondecisive»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 way out for victims of violence throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the breakup.”
• life back after breakup»Kvinnor som brutit sig loss från destruktiva relationer ska få sina liv tillbaka.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women who have broken free from destructive relationships shall get their lives back.”

The plan demands that post-violence ends and that the victim perspective is strengthened, with secured support to protected housing and stronger protection for families with protected identity. The housing situation after separation is precisely such a post-violence issue, and marking that the inquiry on rental law protection must lead to concrete measures follows from the commitment to women's security. However, rental law design is not explicitly addressed.

• post-violence shall enddecisive»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 end. We want electronic monitoring to be used in more cases when contact bans apply and secure long-term support to women's crisis centres, girls' crisis centres and protected housing.”
• protection for violence-affected families»Vi vill bland annat att elektronisk fotboja används oftare och stärka skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want for instance electronic monitoring to be used more often and strengthen protection for families with protected identity.”
• women's security and empowerment»Vi ska stärka kvinnors trygghet och egenmakt. Förebyggande åtgärder mot mäns våld mot kvinnor ska genomsyra hela samhället och män som slår ska inte komma undan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall strengthen women's security and empowerment. Preventive measures against men's violence against women shall permeate the whole society and men who hit shall not escape.”

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 election manifesto wants to introduce a new system of need-based housing precisely for groups with particularly large housing needs, such as victims of violence, and national support for secure housing. Requiring that the investigation into tenant protection for crime victims be completed and lead to concrete measures is exactly that direction. The plan also stipulates that women shall be safe in their home.

• housing for victims of violencedecisive»ett nytt system med behovsbostäder ska införas för grupper med särskilt stora bostadsbehov, såsom våldsutsatta« (2022 manifesto ↗)“a new system of need-based housing shall be introduced for groups with particularly large housing needs, such as victims of violence”
• secure housing»Ett nationellt stöd för skyddade boenden ska införas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“National support for secure housing shall be introduced.”
• safety at home»Kvinnor ska vara trygga både hemma och ute.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women shall be safe both at home and out.”
• prevent relationship violence»Alla former av våld i relationer och könsrelaterat våld ska förebyggas.« (party programme ↗)“All forms of violence in relationships and gender-related violence shall be prevented.”

The plan establishes that women, men and children who have been subjected to violence in a close relationship shall be given adequate support and protection, and that effective processing requires functioning cooperation between the authorities. The state and municipalities shall ensure housing supply for all and a statutory right of occupancy protection shall exist. To fulfill a strengthened tenant protection for victims of violence thus follows from the plan's protection commitment.

• support and protection to violence victimsdecisive»nära relation ska ges adekvat stöd och skydd.« (party programme ↗)“close relationship shall be given adequate support and protection.”
• protection regardless of gender»Kvinnor, män och barn som utsatts för våld i en« (party programme ↗)“Women, men and children who have been subjected to violence in a”
• ensured housing supply»Stat och kommun måste därför trygga« (party programme ↗)“The state and municipalities must therefore ensure”

The plan has a broad commitment to protect those subjected to intimate partner violence, among other things through restraining orders for the convicted and immediate contact prohibition with an ankle monitor at risk, and continued support for women's shelters. That victims of crime shall be able to get a new permanent residence away from the offender serves the same protection purpose. However, tenancy protection is not explicitly mentioned.

• protection away from the offenderdecisive»Införa vistelseförbud för personer som dömts för våld i nära relation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce restraining orders for persons convicted of intimate partner violence”
• early protection at risk»Införa kontaktförbud och fotboja direkt för en man som utsätter en kvinna för våld, om en riskbedömning visar att det finns behov« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce contact prohibition and ankle monitor directly for a man who subjects a woman to violence, if a risk assessment shows that there is a need”
• support for victims of violence»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”
• prioritised fight against intimate partner violence»Vi ska stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall stop men's violence against women”

The plan requires a clear action plan for those subjected to domestic violence and that the rights and support of crime victims are strengthened, based on the premise that the victim should not be forced to live in fear of meeting the perpetrator. The counter-proposal's demand that rental protections for crime victims are implemented and lead to concrete measures directly respond to this. The plan also wants to improve possibilities for restraining orders.

• action plan against domestic violencedecisive»Upprätta en handlingsplan för den som utsätts för våld i nära relation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish an action plan for those subjected to domestic violence”
• support for victims of violence»Sverigedemokraterna vill bland annat se en tydlig handlingsplan för de som utsätts för våld i nära relation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want, among other things, to see a clear action plan for those subjected to domestic violence.”
