A zero-vision on men's violence against women: broad or targeted wording
What's at stake: The choice of wording affects which problem is framed as central: a broad zero-vision risks, according to critics, obscuring the specific problem of men's violence against women, while a targeted zero-vision also puts focus on groups such as Sami women and girls.

What the vote decides
The question is whether a zero-vision in this area should be worded broadly and inclusively, as the committee favors, or specifically targeted at men's violence against women, as the motion demands.
Yes Yes — the committee proposal
The committee favors a more inclusive wording for a zero-vision in this area and rejects the motions calling for a zero-vision specifically targeted at men's violence against women.
No No — the reservations
Reservation 6 (S, MP)
A zero-vision should be worded to specifically target men's violence against women rather than a more inclusive formulation, because a broader wording obscures the overarching problem; the government should also initiate more research on violence against Sami women and girls.

Riksdag decision: Parliament has dealt with the Government's report on an in-depth follow-up of work to prevent and combat male violence against women.
The report is part of the Government's action programme to prevent and combat male violence against women, domestic violence, and honour-related violence and oppression, as well as prostitution and human trafficking. According to the action programme, the Government shall submit a report to Parliament every other year on the work to achieve the gender equality policy target of ending male violence against women. The current report describes developments during the period of the national strategy to prevent and combat male violence against women 2017–2026, with focus on 2022–2023.
Parliament notes among other things that extensive work is underway to counter and stop male violence against women and domestic violence, and expresses its confidence that the Government will continue to pursue active policies and closely monitor developments in this area.
Parliament filed the Government's report with the records, that is, closed the matter.
Parliament also said no to the follow-up motion raised in connection with the report and approximately 30 proposals in motions from the general motion period 2024, primarily with reference to work already underway in the issues that the proposals address.
The proposals concern among other things work against male violence against women and domestic violence, work against honour-related violence and oppression, and efforts regarding support and protection for those subjected to violence.
Counter-proposals
The counter-proposal wants to strengthen violence prevention work through a national program and increase focus on violence in young people's relationships. (S, MP) — Reservation 6
