flag Sweden launches "Women's Peace" council to combat gender-based violence after high-profile murders.

flag Sweden has launched the "Women's Peace" council, led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, to combat men's violence against women, including domestic abuse and honor-related violence, following two high-profile murders in late 2025. flag The initiative, named "kvinnofrid" and rooted in 13th-century legal traditions, aims to improve coordination among agencies, tighten parole rules, and enhance risk assessments for repeat offenders. flag Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer stressed that women should not face life-threatening danger simply for being women, calling for stronger enforcement and longer incarceration for dangerous individuals. flag The program reflects a broader push for systemic reforms to prevent violence and ensure lasting safety.
