“…A survey on batterer programs in Sweden reveals that many of the participating programs identified reaching out to ethnic minorities as one of the major challenges. However, none of the participating agencies provided programs that were adapted to minority groups, because of lack of time and resources to develop the existent programs (Dufort & Caman, 2016;Vall, 2017). The findings from study II, and previous research regarding IPV in ethnic minority groups, highlight the need for further inquiry.…”

“…In accordance with the Istanbul Convention (Article 16), which requires that states target IPVAW perpetrators with measures aiming to prevent IPVAW recidivism (Vall, ), since 2014 (SOSFS :4) the Swedish Social Services Act requires municipalities to offer services to IPVAW offenders.…”

“…According to a mapping of services provided to IPVAW perpetrators in Nordic countries (Vall, ), the Istanbul Convention's recommendation to apply a gender perspective in work with IPVAW perpetrators appears to be more closely followed in Nordic countries than in the rest of the EU. Still, half of the Nordic providers did not report application of gender‐related perspectives.…”

Moreover, one third of Swedish providers reported not working according to any specific model but rather referred to a variety of concepts, thus showing a lack of consensus regarding methodology (Vall, ).…”

“…This coexistence of high levels of gender equality and high IPVAW rates has been termed the Nordic Paradox (Gracia & Merlo, 2016). While researchers have pointed towards this apparent contradiction of co-existing high levels of both IPVAW and gender equality in Nordic countries (Agevall, 2012;Alsaker, Moen, Baste, & Morken, 2016;Clarke, 2011;Enander, 2010a;Hydén, 1995;Jones, 2018;Vall, 2017), so far the paradox has remained unresolved.…”

The Nordic Paradox and intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in Sweden: A background overview

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The global public health problem of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is typically tied to gender inequality. Contrary to what would be expected, however, a 2012 survey conducted by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) showed lifetime prevalence rates of IPVAW in the Nordic countries which were among the highest of the 28 EU member states, despite these countries being rated as some of the most gender‐equal in the world. The aim of this article is to enable a furthered understanding of this Nordic Paradox through providing an overview of knowledge about IPVAW in Sweden in relation to the apparent paradox. It assembles information on IPVAW prevalence, on Sweden's legal and policy framework, on perceived remaining challenges and limitations in responses to IPVAW, and on potential explanations for the Nordic Paradox as expressed in previous research. We conclude that a clear resolution to the Nordic Paradox has not yet been established. Further research is therefore needed.

Loneliness was one the most important matters during The Covid Pandemic. This paper claims that this “lonely situation” was a previous cultural condition. Loneliness belongs to a certain style of life of the Western Culture as an effect of the cultural way of living during the last decades. For this purpose, we will show the way loneliness has been researched during the last 70 years, which is mostly from a psychological and emotional point of view. On the opposite, we will show 2 reasonings to declare the “emotional loneliness” not enough in order to understand this phenomenon. Finally, we will introduce structural cultural elements – taking Sweden as an example of a very modern western socialdemocracy – to show loneliness as way of life and not only a way of feeling. That conclusion allows us to re-ask the cultural control of an isolated individual in pre-Pandemic times.
