Background & Purpose

The government is required to submit regular reports to parliament detailing the progress toward the gender equality goal that men's violence against women must end, focusing here on the years 2022 to 2023.

Proposals & Debate

The government presented a detailed progress report on ongoing anti-violence strategies. Meanwhile, opposition parties submitted around thirty proposals and motion demands concerning stronger support, protection, and preventive measures against honor-related violence and domestic abuse.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament accepted the government's report without taking any new legislative actions and said no to all opposition proposals because similar work is already underway.
