Support for victims of violence
NCK is commissioned by the Government to provide support to victims of violence and runs the national helplines Kvinnofridslinjen, Support Line for Men and Support Line for Transgender People. NCK also runs Sweden's first specialised out-patient clinic for women who have been subjected to violence – Kvinnofridsmottagningen at Uppsala University Hospital.
An average number of 50 000 calls are answered every year by Kvinnofridslinjen. All victims of violence, relatives or people who encounter victims of violence at work can call the helplines for support and advice, and last year NCK opened helplines for men and transgender people.
