Protected personal data
Protection for people with protected personal data
What's at stake: More than 27,000 people in Sweden live with protected personal data, many of them women and children who have fled violence and whose safety can be endangered if authorities inadvertently reveal their whereabouts. The outcome shapes how strong the support and confidentiality protections are for this group.
Case texts and AI reasoning are AI-translated from the Swedish originals; the Swedish text is authoritative.
What the vote decides
At issue is whether ongoing data-protection and confidentiality initiatives are enough, or whether parliament should call for a broader support and legal framework — including stricter custody rules — for people who live with protected personal data because of domestic violence.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee notes that work is already under way to strengthen protection for people with protected personal data — including proposals for tighter confidentiality in authorities' mail handling and a forthcoming, more flexible data-protection framework at the Tax Agency, Customs and the Enforcement Authority — and therefore rejects the motions.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 25 (MP)
The reserving party wants society's support for domestic-violence survivors living with protected personal data substantially strengthened — including tasking the Gender Equality Agency with mapping the risk of post-separation violence, barring shared custody and contact where violence has occurred, and setting up an inquiry into compensation when personal data is exposed — arguing that current routines too often fail.
Summarised from the committee report. Party labels in the summary come from the report, not from the vote.
What do the votes mean here?
Yes The committee proposal: rejecting the motions (keeping things as they are).
No Backing the counter-proposal: reservation 25 by MP.
Abstain The party marks a position of its own that is not one of the two final alternatives.
The decision would have held
Explicit commitments that contradicted the vote: LLiberalerna
Ja 152–15Ja 138–29
Counterfactual: the parties above are moved to the position their own documents explicitly point at, carrying their whole contingent present. Every other party keeps its real figures, including dissenters and absentees.
How the AI parties would have voted
For each party: what its own plan – election manifesto and party programme – argues for in this case, next to how the party actually voted. The AI can only answer Yes or No; a party can also abstain.

Plan vs actual vote
Every party, in chamber order: what its own plan pointed to, how it voted, and the reasoning behind both. Highlighted rows are where the two differ — but a vote that follows the plan is a result too, so the reasoning is there for every party.
The election manifesto explicitly states that the child perspective must be strengthened in custody disputes and that it must not be possible for perpetrators of violence to retain joint custody, which is the heart of the counter-proposal.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto explicitly states that the child perspective must be strengthened in custody disputes and that it must not be possible for perpetrators of violence to retain joint custody, which is the heart of the counter-proposal. The plan also demands that work against male violence against women be prioritised in line with the extent of the crimes and that everyone has the right to protection of their personal integrity, which carries the demands for risk mapping and damages for disclosed information.
Original (Swedish)
Valplattformen slår uttryckligen fast att barnperspektivet måste stärkas i vårdnadstvister och att det inte ska vara möjligt för våldsutövare att behålla gemensam vårdnad, vilket är kärnan i motförslaget. Planen kräver också att arbetet mot mäns våld mot kvinnor prioriteras i nivå med brottens omfattning och att alla har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet, vilket bär kraven på riskkartläggning och skadestånd vid röjda uppgifter.

The plan commits to vigorous combating of men's violence against women and violence in intimate relationships and support for victims, and especially support for children witnessing violence.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan commits to vigorous combating of men's violence against women and violence in intimate relationships and support for victims, and especially support for children witnessing violence. The counter-proposal's requirement for risk assessment after a relationship ends, that contact is not granted when violence has occurred and for compensation when information is disclosed are measures for precisely that group. The programme also explicitly protects personal integrity.
Original (Swedish)
Planen åtar sig kraftfullt bekämpande av mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld i nära relationer samt stöd till utsatta, och särskilt stöd till barn som bevittnar våld. Motförslagets krav på riskkartläggning efter en relations slut, på att umgänge inte ges när våld förekommit och på skadestånd när uppgifter röjs är åtgärder för just den gruppen. Programmet värnar dessutom uttryckligen den personliga integriteten.

The election manifesto promises that abused women who are forced to hide shall receive stronger protection and that children shall be protected from being forced into contact with a violent parent.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto · party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The election manifesto promises that abused women who are forced to hide shall receive stronger protection and that children shall be protected from being forced into contact with a violent parent. The plan also establishes that children's right to security weighs heavier than violent parents' right to their children. The counter-proposal's demands for risk mapping, limited contact in case of violence and tested liability for damages when information is disclosed are the same commitment in practice.
Original (Swedish)
Valmanifestet lovar att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att barn ska skyddas från att tvingas till umgänge med en våldsam förälder. Planen slår också fast att barns rätt till trygghet väger tyngre än våldsamma föräldrars rätt till sina barn. Motförslagets krav på riskkartläggning, begränsat umgänge vid våld och prövat skadeståndsansvar när uppgifter röjs är samma åtagande i praktiken.
- stronger protection for abuse victimsdecisive»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that abused women who are forced to hide shall receive stronger protection and that more who commit violence shall receive electronic monitoring.”

The plan explicitly requires that the victim perspective be strengthened, that post-separation violence ceases and that protection for families with protected identity is improved.
Plan documents: 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan explicitly requires that the victim perspective be strengthened, that post-separation violence ceases and that protection for families with protected identity is improved. The counter-proposal's requirements for mapping of violence risk after a relationship ends, that contact and shared custody are not given when violence has occurred and for an investigation about damages when information is revealed are precisely such post-separation violence measures. The plan's line that men who hit shall not get away bears the stance.
Original (Swedish)
Planen kräver uttryckligen att brottsofferperspektivet stärks, att eftervåldet upphör och att skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet förbättras. Motförslagets krav på kartläggning av våldsrisken efter en relations slut, på att umgänge och delad vårdnad inte ges när våld förekommit och på en utredning om skadestånd när uppgifter röjs är just sådana eftervåldsåtgärder. Planens linje att män som slår inte ska komma undan bär ställningstagandet.
- combat post-separation violencedecisive»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas och eftervåldet upphöra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim perspective must be strengthened and post-separation violence must cease.”
- protection for protected identity»Vi vill bland annat att elektronisk fotboja används oftare och stärka skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want, among other things, that electronic monitoring is used more often and strengthen protection for families with protected identity.”
- strengthened protection for violence survivors»Kvinnor med skyddad identitet ska enklare kunna byta efternamn på sina barn.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women with protected identity shall more easily be able to change their children's surname.”
- stop men's violence against women»Vi ska leda Sverige mot ett slut på mäns våld mot kvinnor. Män som slår ska inte komma undan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall lead Sweden towards an end to men's violence against women. Men who hit shall not get away.”

The plan explicitly establishes that children shall not be forced into contact with a parent who has subjected the child to abuse and that the person convicted of gross violence against the other parent should lose custody rights.
Plan documents: party programme · 2022 manifesto
Reasoning and quotes
The plan explicitly establishes that children shall not be forced into contact with a parent who has subjected the child to abuse and that the person convicted of gross violence against the other parent should lose custody rights. It also requires that the right to compensation for mistakes by authorities be improved, which hits revealed personal data. The counter-proposal's requirement for protection for violence victims with protected personal data therefore follows directly from the plan.
Original (Swedish)
Planen slår uttryckligen fast att barn inte ska tvingas till umgänge med en förälder som utsatt barnet för övergrepp och att den som dömts för grovt våld mot den andra föräldern bör förlora umgängesrätten. Den kräver också att rätten till skadestånd vid myndigheters misstag förbättras, vilket träffar röjda personuppgifter. Motförslagets krav på skydd för våldsutsatta med skyddade personuppgifter följer därför direkt av planen.
- no contact in cases of abusedecisive»Barn ska inte tvingas till umgänge med en förälder som utsatt barnet för övergrepp, psykisk eller fysisk misshandel.« (party programme ↗)“Children shall not be forced into contact with a parent who has subjected the child to abuse, psychological or physical assault.”
- damages for government error»Rätten till kompensation eller skadestånd vid myndigheters misstag eller övergrepp behöver förbättras.« (party programme ↗)“The right to compensation or damages for mistakes or violations by authorities needs to be improved.”
- loss of custody for gross violence»Den förälder som döms för att ha utsatt den andra föräldern för grovt eller dödligt våld bör automatiskt förlora umgängesrätt med barnet.« (party programme ↗)“The parent convicted of subjecting the other parent to gross or fatal violence should automatically lose custody rights with the child.”
- better protection for crime victims»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.« (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.”

The party programme explicitly requires that women, men and children subjected to violence in a close relationship be given adequate support and protection, and describes men's violence against women as the ultimate expression of lack of gender equality.
Plan documents: party programme
Reasoning and quotes
The party programme explicitly requires that women, men and children subjected to violence in a close relationship be given adequate support and protection, and describes men's violence against women as the ultimate expression of lack of gender equality. It also demands great care in authorities' handling of personal data and that the child's best interest come first. The counter-proposal's demands for risk assessment, limited visitation rights in cases of violence and damages for disclosed information follow from this.
Original (Swedish)
Partiprogrammet kräver uttryckligen att kvinnor, män och barn som utsatts för våld i en nära relation ges adekvat stöd och skydd, och betecknar mäns våld mot kvinnor som det yttersta uttrycket för brist på jämställdhet. Det kräver också stor försiktighet vid myndigheters hantering av personuppgifter och att barnets bästa kommer i främsta rummet. Motförslagets krav på riskkartläggning, begränsad umgängesrätt vid våld och skadestånd vid röjda uppgifter följer av detta.

The counter-proposal wants to strengthen protection for violence victims with protected personal data, including through risk assessment after a relationship ends, restricted contact where violence has occurred, and investigation of damages when information is disclosed. The plan puts the crime victim at the center, promises strengthened protection for crime victims and witnesses, residence bans after violence in close relationships, and doubled damages. The counter-proposal's demands are in line with these commitments.
