This chapter presents a comparative study of socio-professional inclusion policies for victims of domestic violence, with special emphasis on Portugal and Sweden, focusing on the well-being of victims of domestic violence. We will be able to observe the measures implemented from the 1990s to the present day, as well as the evolution of domestic violence offenses. In Portugal, multiple measures have been implemented aimed at promoting the inclusion of victims of domestic violence in society. To this end, measures have been implemented in the field of vocational training, support in actively seeking employment (they have priority), access to crèches and childcare if they have children, access to shelters and safety plans implemented by victim support technicians, authorities, in consensus with the victims, as well as access to legal, social, and psychological support, and any other health care they may need. The measures currently applied in Portugal are similar to the rules and laws implemented in Sweden, where there is a great deal of concern for protecting victims of domestic violence, as well as multiple supports so that victims can start a new phase in their lives. The study demonstrates the impact that socio-professional inclusion policies can have on the well-being of victims of domestic violence, positively contributing to increased self-esteem, social reintegration, financial autonomy, resilience, and coping, as well as valuable insights for the pursuit and implementation of new policies to combat domestic violence and the well-being of victims.

摘要

This chapter presents a comparative study of socio-professional inclusion policies for victims of domestic violence, with special emphasis on Portugal and Sweden, focusing on the well-being of victims of domestic violence. We will be able to observe the measures implemented from the 1990s to the present day, as well as the evolution of domestic violence offenses. In Portugal, multiple measures have been implemented aimed at promoting the inclusion of victims of domestic violence in society. To this end, measures have been implemented in the field of vocational training, support in actively seeking employment (they have priority), access to crèches and childcare if they have children, access to shelters and safety plans implemented by victim support technicians, authorities, in consensus with the victims, as well as access to legal, social, and psychological support, and any other health care they may need. The measures currently applied in Portugal are similar to the rules and laws implemented in Sweden, where there is a great deal of concern for protecting victims of domestic violence, as well as multiple supports so that victims can start a new phase in their lives. The study demonstrates the impact that socio-professional inclusion policies can have on the well-being of victims of domestic violence, positively contributing to increased self-esteem, social reintegration, financial autonomy, resilience, and coping, as well as valuable insights for the pursuit and implementation of new policies to combat domestic violence and the well-being of victims.
