Our model
Victims of violence
Decision- makers
Evidence
Data and research form the foundation for targeted interventions that work.
Education
We bring victims of violence into processes where they learn to recognise and prevent violence.
Advocacy
We engage decision-makers with documentation that drives legislative change.
Political goals
Rapid response
Free, specialised support for all victims — first contact within 24 hours, enshrined in law.
Criminalise femicide
Independent criminalisation of femicide in the criminal code.
Education in schools
Violence prevention as a mandatory topic in primary and secondary school curricula.
Strategy
Vision
Where everyone lives a life free from violence.
Mission
To prevent and stop violence through knowledge, community and change — with survivors at the centre and civil society as the driving force.
We use and develop knowledge as the foundation for awareness, education, political influence and practice — from research and data to lived experience.
Theory of change
Violence thrives in silence, insufficient knowledge and lack of agency. When knowledge is shared with everyone who can act — from the student in year 6 to the minister — violence can be prevented and stopped.
The National Knowledge Centre for Violence Prevention is part of Center for Violence Prevention (CFV) and is an independent, civil-society-based knowledge centre. We work with knowledge, research and dissemination about violence and violence prevention.
If you need urgent help, counselling or information about violence in close relationships, we also refer you to Lev Uden Vold, the national unit in this field.
