| dc.description.abstract | 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), Ragnhild Elise Johansen from Nasjonalt Kunnskapssenter om Vold og Traumatisk Stress (NKVTS), Margrethe Stensland from NAV Rogaland, and Katrine Bakke Lossius and Aimar Alkholt from Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet (IMDi) who participated in the reference group meetings. The project has been carried out by researchers from the Center for Intercultural Communication (SIK) at VID Specialized University. Meltem Yilmaz Sener has been the leader of the project.
