Sopu work offers support for the resolution and prevention of honor-related conflicts for all parties. We work with those who have experienced violence and, if the situation allows it, also with the perpetrators of violence and other close circles. In the agreement, we also guide groups.

Conflicts and violence related to honor often appear as restrictions on the movement and social freedom of family members, control and coercion, as well as domestic violence involving pressure from relatives or the community. Forms of honor-related violence also include forced marriage, genital mutilation and honor killing.

Honor-related violence is experienced by both women and men, and members of sexual and gender minorities are in a particularly vulnerable position. The perpetrators of violence are also men, women and people of the opposite sex.

In Sopu work, we also offer consulting and training on the subject to other social, health and education professionals.

The project is limited by the Social and Health Organizations Assistance Center STEA.
