Beaten Lady
The first large investigation about men’s violence against women in Sweden was published in May 2001. The research was commissioned by the government and conducted by Eva Lundgren, professor of Sociology and by Gun Heimer, director of the National Women Centre in Uppsala.
Some facts in summery:
* Almost half of the women, 46%, have been exposed to violence by a man at some point after the age of 15.
* More than half the women, 56%, have been sexually harassed.
*Violence and/or sexual harassment are something nearly 7 of 10 Swedish women, 67% have experienced.
