Sexual Health
Sexual violence work
Sexual violence is a traumatic, insecure and difficult experience. Untreated, sexual violence can cause long-term harm in everyday life and relationships. That’s why it’s good to deal with the matter together with a safe and professional adult.
We offer support and help to girls and young women aged 13-29 who have experienced sexual violence. The service is free, confidential and low-threshold individual and group professional support.
Those who have experienced sexual violence can contact the sexual violence worker:

Support for survivors of gender-based violence
Gender-based violence is e.g. human trafficking, honor-related violence and sexual violence. We support girls and women with migrant backround when they become aware of violence, process experiences of violence and when recovering. Contact us for more information.
