The National Clearinghouse on Violence against Women
The National Authority Co-operation Project for Women’s Peace is a joint venture run by central authorities in Sweden. One of the first results of this co-operation is the creation of the National Clearinghouse on Violence against Women, an information centre on the Internet providing facts on knowledge development and practical work concerning violence against women.

The National Clearinghouse on Violence against Women contains links to available material on violence against women, i.e. the material that has been published online by the authorities and organisations in the project. This means that the Portal does not include activities or subjects about which there is no information available on the Internet. We hope that increasing numbers of authorities and organisations will publish information on the Internet and make their work known via the National Clearinghouse on Violence against Women.

Information
The National Clearinghouse on Violence against Women contains links to state authorities, municipalities, county councils and county administrative boards, as well as voluntary organisations and universities. They are all responsible for their own information.

Some of the material in the Portal has been summarised in English. A number of the fact sheets have been translated into several languages.
