Kvinnohuset in Örebro works actively all year round to help women and children who are being subjected to domestic violence.
The last Sunday in May is Mother's Day. That's when mums all over Sweden get a bit of extra love and attention.
But not all mums.
Over the past ten years, police reports of violence against women have risen by roughly 30 percent in Sweden.
There were almost 28,000 reports in 2011. In Örebro alone, 935 police reports were made the same year.
Despite the high figures, just 20-25 percent of such crimes are actually reported.
Most of the time it isn't the woman who contacts Kvinnohuset. It could be someone close to her
social services, healthcare services or a police officer who makes contact.
You can't link the violence to age or income, or even a particular part of town. Women can be subjected to violence
anywhere, anytime and by anyone.
We tend to assume that alcohol or drugs are involved, but in the reports that are made, drugs and alcohol are not the cause as often as we might think.
Even in cases where men have addiction problems, a third were not actually under the influence at the time the violence took place.
It can be hard to understand why a woman stays in a violent relationship. Often the man restricts the woman's contact with the outside world
so she feels isolated, and that's when the violence starts. When the woman then attempts to leave, the level of violence often increases.
Not a day goes by without Kvinnohuset in Örebro taking a new call from, or about a woman who is being subjected to violence.
Kvinnohuset helps by providing sheltered accommodation and a safe environment for vulnerable women and their children.
Phone conversations offering support and advice are also part of the service. Women are also given the chance to talk at Kvinnohuset.
But Kvinnohuset wants, and needs to do more. There's a considerable need and they'd like to help twice as many as they do today.
