It was as a reaction to the tragic examples of deadly violence against women in recent weeks that the Center Party's party leader Annie Lööf demanded political gathering.

A call that Minister for Gender Equality Märta Stenevi, spokesperson for the Green Party, heeded.

A week later, it becomes a reality, at least in the form of a meeting.

Several ministers are participating, as are representatives of the parliamentary parties.

According to TT, all party leaders must have said yes.

Authorities and civil society organizations also participate in the meeting.

Crisis group formed

The parties agree on tougher penalties for violence against women, but opinions on how it should be implemented differ. The idea of ​​the meeting is to try to agree on what should be done.

A crisis group has already been formed

Already this morning, the Prime Minister published a long post on Facebook about the fact that an average of 15 women are killed by their partner every year.

"These are heinous acts that society must never turn a blind eye to or ever find excuses for.

Instead, the collective power of society must strike back against violence.

It will require a lot of many.

We will sound the alarm, show civil courage and from an early age talk to boys and men that masculinity is not about beating or oppressing women ”.
