Are you exposed to partner violence?

Everyone is entitled to a life free from violence. In the Faroe Islands all violence is illegal, be it at home or elsewhere, both against children and adults. There are different forms of violence in intimate partnerships and close relations. Violence can be physical, psychological, financial, material, sexual, digital or stalking. Such behavour can manifest in isolation, coercion, threats, or abuse intended to control another person.

The material is published by Sig frá - Almanna- og mentamálaðiráðið in collaboration with Kvinnuhúsið and Útlendingastovan in 2024.
