Governance and agencies' work against economic abuse

The plan sees it as a societal responsibility to stop men's violence against women and demands targeted prevention work against violence's different forms. That authorities should not participate in economic violence follows from the commitment that authorities have a special responsibility to treat all people with the same respect. The plan does not explicitly mention authority steering, but the direction is unambiguous.

• societal responsibility against men's violencedecisive»Det är ett samhällsansvar att stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor, inte en möjlighet för privata bolag att göra vinst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is a societal responsibility to stop men's violence against women, not an opportunity for private companies to make profit.”
• targeted prevention work»Det går att förebygga med ett riktat arbete mot« (party programme ↗)“It is possible to prevent with targeted work against”
• authorities' special responsibility»Myndigheter har ett särskilt ansvar att möta alla människor« (party programme ↗)“Authorities have a special responsibility to treat all people”
• strengthened authority work against violence»Socialtjänsten måste garanteras ett varaktigt och stabilt stöd för arbetet mot våld i nära relationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social services must be guaranteed lasting and stable support for work against violence in close relationships.”

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 places a fundamental responsibility on society to secure safety and to stand unwaveringly against those who exercise power they have no right to, with forceful combat of violence against women by men. That authorities shall not contribute to economic violence and that protected information shall not be disclosed follows from that responsibility and from the requirement to protect personal integrity. The requirement for stronger authority governance is therefore substantively supported.

• violence as exercise of powerdecisive»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är en maktutövning som står i direkt motsats mot dessa principer.« (party programme ↗)“Violence against women by men is an exercise of power that stands in direct contradiction to these principles.”
• society's responsibility for safety»Samhället har ett grundläggande ansvar att säkra tryggheten i landet.« (party programme ↗)“Society has a fundamental responsibility to secure safety in the country.”
• protected personal data»Skydd för den personliga integriteten.« (party programme ↗)“Protection of personal integrity.”
• strong measures against violence against women by men»• 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 ↗)“Strong measures to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and violence against women by men. We want to continue the political direction that has tightened penalties for violence and other violations in close relationships, and that has increased resources to women's and girls' crisis shelters' important work.”

The plan demands that those fleeing a violent intimate partner immediately receive coordinated support from society and that people exposed to violence who are forced to hide themselves receive stronger protection. Authorities through their routines blocking benefits or revealing protected identity stands in direct conflict with this commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand that the work and governance of the authorities are strengthened.

• immediate coordinated supportdecisive»Den som måste fly från en våldsam närstående ska omgående få samordnat stöd från samhället.« (party programme ↗)“Those who must flee from a violent intimate partner shall immediately receive coordinated support from society.”
• stronger protection for those in hiding»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that women exposed to violence who are forced to hide themselves shall receive stronger protection and that more perpetrators of violence shall receive electronic tagging.”
• insufficient authority protection»Samhällets skydd och stöd räcker ofta inte till, medan förövarna går fria får offren sin frihet begränsad.« (party programme ↗)“Society's protection and support often falls short, while perpetrators go free the victims have their freedom restricted.”
• coordinated authority responsibility»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 people exposed to violence throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break-up.”

The election manifesto promises to strengthen protection for families with protected identity and that preventive work against violence by men against women shall run through the entire society, thus also through the authorities' own procedures. That perpetrators can use authorities' rules to block benefits or reveal protected identity runs directly counter to these commitments. The counter-proposal's demand for stricter governance of the authorities therefore has support in the plan.

• protect families with protected identitydecisive»Det är också viktigt att brottsoffer får bättre stöd och att eftervåldet bekämpas. Vi vill bland annat att elektronisk fotboja används oftare och stärka skyddet för familjer med skyddad identitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is also important that crime victims receive better support and that afterviolence is combated. We want, among other things, electronic tagging to be used more often and strengthen protection for families with protected identity.”
• preventive work throughout society»Det förebyggande arbetet måste börja tidigt och genomsyra hela samhället. Alla kommuner ska ha handlingsplaner för att förebygga mäns våld mot kvinnor och alla skolor ska ha handlingsplaner mot hedersförtryck.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Preventive work must begin early and run through the entire society. All municipalities shall have action plans to prevent violence by men against women and all schools shall have action plans against honour-based oppression.”
• women's safety and agency»Vi ska stärka kvinnors trygghet och egenmakt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall strengthen women's safety and agency.”
• equal public services»Alla ska kunna leva och förverkliga sina drömmar oavsett var man vill bo.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone shall be able to live and fulfil their dreams regardless of where they want to live.”

The plan makes support for crime victims a main task for both the justice system and social services and requires that a gender equality perspective is integrated in all relevant public decisions. That agencies' own rules and procedures cannot be used to continue oppression is a direct application of this. The plan also wants to strengthen protection of the individual's privacy, which supports the requirement for disclosed protected identity.

• crime victim support as main taskdecisive»Insatser för att stödja brottsoffer är ett huvuduppdrag för både rättsväsende och socialtjänst.« (party programme ↗)“Efforts to support crime victims are a main task for both the justice system and social services.”
• gender equality in agency decisions»Ett jämställdhetsperspektiv ska integreras i alla relevanta offentliga beslut.« (party programme ↗)“A gender equality perspective shall be integrated in all relevant public decisions.”
• prevented 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.”
• protected identity and privacy»Skyddet för den enskildes integritet ska stärkas.« (party programme ↗)“Protection of the individual's privacy shall be strengthened.”

The plan explicitly requires well-educated staff at police, prosecutors, social services and healthcare and a well-functioning collaboration between authorities in matters of intimate partner violence. That authorities' own procedures can be exploited by perpetrators to block grants or reveal protected identity contradicts this and the plan's strong privacy protection. The counter-proposal's demand for strengthened management of authorities' work against economic violence is therefore supported by the plan.

• well-educated authorities in violence mattersdecisive»Effektiv handläggning av ärenden som rör våld i nära relationer förutsätter välutbildade« (party programme ↗)“Effective handling of matters concerning intimate partner violence requires well-educated”
• support and protection for violence victims»Kvinnor, män och barn som utsatts för våld i en nära relation ska ges adekvat stöd och skydd.« (party programme ↗)“Women, men and children who have been subjected to intimate partner violence shall be given adequate support and protection.”
• protection for personal integrity»Den personliga integriteten ska ha ett starkt grundlagsskydd« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity shall have strong constitutional protection”
• men's violence against women»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är det yttersta uttrycket för brist på jämställdhet.« (party programme ↗)“Men's violence against women is the ultimate expression of lack of equality.”

The plan promises to strengthen the protection for crime victims and to establish special units in every police region for violence in close relationships, that is precisely that government agencies' work shall be sharpened. That maintenance support shall be paid to the woman instead of to the man shows that the plan wants to change government agencies' routines so they don't reinforce vulnerability. The plan moreover wants to take control of the population register, which concerns protected information.

• protection for crime victimsdecisive»Stärka skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen the protection for witnesses and crime victims”
• specialised government agency initiatives»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 ↗)“Establish special units in every police region that specialise in sexual crimes and violence in close relationships so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution and punishment”
• changed payment routines»Betala ut försörjningsstöd till kvinnan i stället för till mannen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Pay maintenance support to the woman instead of to the man”
• control of the population register»Moderaterna tänker ta kontroll över folkbokföringen för att stoppa bidragsbrotten och se till att de skattepengar du betalar in används till det de är avsedda för.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party intends to take control of the population register to stop benefits fraud and ensure that the tax money you pay is used for what it is intended for.”

The plan demands that the justice system's cooperation between agencies and tools to detect criminals is improved, and that action is taken both preventively and by the justice system against violence against women. The counter-proposal's demand that agencies should not assist in economic violence and that more agencies be given the task to counteract it is an application of the same governance requirement. That perpetrators can exploit procedures to reveal protected identity affects the plan's demand for crime victim safety.

• better agency cooperationdecisive»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The justice system's cooperation between agencies and tools to detect and prosecute criminals should be improved.”
