Welcome to the National Centre for Knowledge on Men's Violence Against Women (NCK), a knowledge and resource centre based at Uppsala University. NCK has been commissioned by the government to increase knowledge of men's violence against women in Sweden, and to develop methods for the treatment and care of women subjected to violence.
The centre is a part of Uppsala University and has a clinic for women subjected to violence at Uppsala University Hospital. This is also the home of Kvinnofridslinjen which is a national helpline for women who have been subjected to threats and violence.
On this website you can read more about NCK's activities and about the subject of violence against women.
In 2008 NCK presented a handbook to support healthcare professionals in their treatment of victims of sex crime. As from 1 January 2011 the national programme has been implemented in the healthcare and medical services all over Sweden. The handbook offers concrete recommendations for routines in the encounter with sex crime victims including how to take samples and secure evidence.
