Abstract

Abstract Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a global public health issue often assumed to be associated with gender inequality. The so-called Nordic Paradox, the apparently contradictory co-existence of high levels of IPVAW and of gender equality in Nordic countries, has not been adequately explained. This study explores discussions about how this apparent paradox can be understood among 30 IPVAW professionals working in southern Sweden, through a thematic analysis of focus groups and individual and paired interviews. The analysis highlights complexities of gender (in)equality and its links with IPVAW in Sweden, of relevance for the addressing and prevention of IPVAW.

北欧悖论。专业人士对瑞典性别平等和亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女行为的讨论

亲密伴侣暴力侵害妇女(IPVAW)是一个全球性的公共卫生问题，通常被认为与性别不平等有关。所谓的北欧悖论，即北欧国家高水平的男女平等和高水平的男女平等显然是相互矛盾的共存现象，并没有得到充分的解释。本研究通过对焦点小组、个人和配对访谈的专题分析，探讨了在瑞典南部工作的30名IPVAW专业人员如何理解这一明显的悖论。该分析强调了性别不平等的复杂性及其与瑞典IPVAW的联系，对解决和预防IPVAW具有重要意义。
