Sammendrag
This is a project on the needs for protection and crisis center services for newly arrived refugees and
immigrants who are exposed to negative social control, honor-related violence, and other domestic
violence. The project gives insights about the additional needs of protection for this group, to what
extent these needs are being met by different institutions in the support system, and in what ways the
system can be improved. With this project, we have produced knowledge which will support the
follow-up of this group as well as providing insight and tools for the provision of services.
We thank the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi) for giving us the opportunity to do
research in this very sensitive and crucial area. It has been both a challenging and a rewarding
experience for our research team.
We would also like to thank all our informants who have agreed to participate in our research and have
given us their valuable time. Additionally, we thank the members of our reference group who have
participated in our meetings: Janne Waagbø from Barne-, ungdoms- og familiedirektoratet (Bufdir),

Margrethe Stensland from NAV Rogaland, and Katrine Bakke Lossius and Aimar Alkholt from
Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet (IMDi) who participated in the reference group meetings.
