More young women are seeking protection from domestic violence in Finland, according to the managing director of the Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters.
A recent survey by the Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters (Ensi- ja turvakotien liitto) has shed light on the significant challenges facing Finnish families with infants, highlighting a concerning gap in the support available to them. Over half of the respondents in the "How are you doing?" online survey reported difficulty in accessing the help they need, despite experiencing a range of issues from loneliness and mental health challenges to coping with the demands of parenthood.
While the availability of services for domestic violence survivors has increased, statistics indicate that domestic violence is not decreasing in Finland. To effectively combat domestic violence, Finland should invest in helping those who use violence. The Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters in Finland also assists those who use violence in breaking free from abusive behavior.
