HEDERSAM

Hedersam is a collaborative project between social services and researchers. The purpose of the project is to develop a working model that protects individuals who have been subjected to honor-related violence and oppression.

In the project we are examining:

  • The assessments and subsequent management of honor-related violence and oppression by social services
  • The experiences and perceptions of social services in assessing the risk of honor-related violence and oppression.
  • Social services' internal and external collaboration in managing the risk of honor-related violence and oppression.
  • If the RISKSAM model is reliable, valid, and user-friendly in cases involving honor-related violence and oppression.
