The theme of this conference is methods for preventing intimate partner homicide by analysing such cases. The goal is to strengthen the prevention of future intimate partner homicides.
The experts from the United States and Portugal will present the methods used in their respective countries. In addition, we will hear about an ongoing effort to establish a similar intimate partner homicide commission in Norway. The establishment of an intimate partner homicide commission is also a priority for the UN Committee on the Status of Women, and as the Equality and Anti-Discrimination Ombud mentioned in their recent report to the UN.
