General on violence in intimate relationships

The plan sees men's violence against women as a structural social problem to be combated as a social responsibility, and establishes that violence against LGBTQ people rests on the same patriarchal power structures. Women's peace work must be based on knowledge of how violence affects different groups differently. Active work for a zero vision and expanded statistics covering all victims, including in same-sex relationships, follows from these commitments.

• structural social problemdecisive»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett strukturellt samhällsproblem.« (party programme ↗)“Men's violence against women is a structural social problem.”
• knowledge about the violence»Kvinnofridsarbetet måste bygga på kunskap om hur våldet drabbar« (party programme ↗)“Women's peace work must be based on knowledge of how violence affects”
• same patriarchal foundation»Det våld som också hbtq-personer utsätts för grundas i« (party programme ↗)“The violence that LGBTQ people are also subjected to is based on”
• social responsibility for the violence»Det är ett samhällsansvar att stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor, inte en möjlighet för privata bolag att göra vinst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is a social responsibility to stop men's violence against women, not an opportunity for private companies to make profit.”

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 wants to continue the direction that sharpened sentences for violence in close relationships and increased resources to crisis centres, and take strong action against men's violence against women, which supports the demand for active work for a zero vision. The party programme's goal of a society without homo- and transphobia speaks to the fact that the statistics also include violence in same-sex relationships and against men. The counter-proposal's demand is therefore supported in substance.

• prioritize violence in close relationshipsdecisive»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 ↗)“We want to continue the political direction that sharpened sentences for violence and other violations in close relationships, and that increased resources to women's and girls' crisis centres.”
• strong action against violence»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strong action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crime and men's violence against women.”
• all affected are counted»klasskillnader, patriarkat, rasism eller homo- och transfobi, ett samhälle utan fördomar och« (party programme ↗)“class differences, patriarchy, racism or homo- and transphobia, a society without prejudice and”
• feminist basic view»Med denna grundsyn är socialdemokratin ett feministiskt parti.« (party programme ↗)“With this basic view Social Democracy is a feminist party.”

The party programme demands that violence in intimate relationships be handled quickly, in a coordinated and consistent manner, and that support and protection be provided to children and adults who have been subjected to psychological and physical violence, which supports the counter-proposal's demand for active work towards a zero vision. The plan's fundamental position that everyone has equal rights regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity speaks in favor of the statistics covering all victims, including violence in same-sex relationships and violence against men. The election manifesto's commitment to support for violence survivors throughout the country points in the same direction.

• coordinated work against violencedecisive»Våld i nära relationer ska behandlas på ett snabbt,« (party programme ↗)“Violence in intimate relationships should be handled quickly,”
• protection for all victims»skydd för barn och vuxna som utsatts för psykiskt« (party programme ↗)“protection for children and adults subjected to psychological”
• equal rights regardless of orientation»sexuell läggning, könsidentitet, könsuttryck eller« (party programme ↗)“sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or”
• support for violence survivors throughout the country»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 violence survivors throughout the country, so that responsibility for protection, housing and care is coordinated immediately after the break.”

The plan commits to leading Sweden towards an end to men's violence against women and that all municipalities shall have action plans to prevent violence, which in substance is a zero vision. That statistics are expanded to cover all those affected follows from the principle that all people have equal rights and value and from the goal of a society free from domestic violence. Better knowledge base is a prerequisite for the preventive work the plan requires.

• end to violence as a goaldecisive»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 beat shall not escape.”
• prevention in all municipalities»Alla kommuner ska ha handlingsplaner för att förebygga mäns våld mot kvinnor och alla skolor ska ha handlingsplaner mot hedersförtryck.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All municipalities shall have action plans to prevent men's violence against women and all schools shall have action plans against honour-based oppression.”
• society free from domestic violence»ett samhälle fritt från våld i hemmet, människohandel och prostitution« (party programme ↗)“a society free from domestic violence, human trafficking and prostitution”
• everyone's equal value»Alla människor har lika rätt och värde, alla har samma grundläggande rättigheter och skyldigheter.« (party programme ↗)“All people have equal rights and value, all have the same fundamental rights and responsibilities.”

The plan establishes that all forms of violence in relationships and gender-related violence shall be prevented and that men's violence against women shall end, which in substance is a zero vision. That equality work clearly shall involve boys and men and that everyone has the same right to respect for their private and family life supports that the statistics cover all those affected, including same-sex relationships and men. The demand for expanded statistics also follows from the plan's demand for gender-disaggregated monitoring.

The plan points out men's violence against women as the ultimate expression of lacking equality and demands that women, men and children who have suffered violence in close relationships be given adequate support and protection — thus also men. Working towards zero violence and expanding statistics to all victims, including same-sex relationships, follows from the principle that every human being has the same absolute value.

• against violence in close relationshipsdecisive»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är det yttersta uttrycket för« (party programme ↗)“Men's violence against women is the ultimate expression of”
• support and protection for all victims»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 requires well-trained staff in the police,”
• equal value regardless of identity»varje enskild människa har samma absoluta värde oavsett ålder, etniskt eller socialt ursprung« (party programme ↗)“every individual human being has the same absolute value regardless of age, ethnic or social origin”

The programme establishes that violence has no place in our society and that violence occurring in intimate relationships should be combated with great determination, and the plan introduces zero tolerance against honour crimes and special police teams for intimate partner violence. The counter-proposal's demand for active work towards a zero vision is in line with this. That the statistics are broadened to include all those affected, including same-sex relationships and men, is supported by the plan's commitment that vulnerability of LGBTQ persons should be counteracted.

• zero tolerance for violencedecisive»Våld har ingen plats i vårt samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“Violence has no place in our society.”
• zero tolerance as method»Moderaterna vill införa en nolltolerans mot hedersbrott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Moderaterna will introduce zero tolerance against honour crimes.”
• specialised intimate partner violence work»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 teams in each police region specialised in sexual crimes and intimate partner violence so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution and punishment”
• vulnerability regardless of group»I hederskulturer är hbtq-personer dubbelt utsatta.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In honour cultures, LGBTQ persons are doubly vulnerable.”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to establishing a clear action plan for those subjected to violence in close relationships and to strengthening the fight against violence and assault. The plan also wants to strengthen the justice system's efforts against violence and threats that constrain the lives of LGBTQ+ people, which covers the counter-proposal's demand for statistics that include all those affected, including in same-sex relationships. Active work towards a zero vision thus aligns with the plan.

• clear action plan»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 violence in close relationships.”
