Datacollection has been made through interviews with different respondents that work against honor-related violence and abuse. Material: All material used in this survey has been gathered from the governments ten year strategy against honor-related violence and abuse, documents from the different municipalities websites regarding their work against honor-related violence and abuse as well as interviews with personal from the municipalities. Conclusion: The survey has shown that for the municipalities to be able to counteract honor-related violence and abuse, and to do what is expected of them, a variety of efforts is needed. The survey has also shown that there is some degree of co-operation between municipalities and non-profit organizations, however it was not clear if some level of co-operation between the municipalities and other authorities existed. It was also unclear how implementation of government decisions was performed. It was also established that the municipalities created regulations and guidelines based on the national board of health and welfare and government decisions.
