In 2021, the Swedish government tasked the National Agency for Education with strengthening schools' systematic efforts to combat honour-related violence and oppression (HRV). The initiative included awareness-raising activities and support for teachers and other staff in pre-school, primary and secondary schools. In addition, the school's responsibility to address HRV has been reinforced in the new curriculum (Lgr 22). The overall aim of two consecutive research projects was to explore the ways in which honour-related vulnerability can manifest itself in the school environment and the potential for school social work to identify and prevent this specific type of violence, as well as to collaborate with social services in addressing the concerns of young people living in an honourrelated context. The studies are based on interviews with school social workers and other school staff in 15 secondary and primary schools in 10 different municipalities.The overall findings show that all interviewees have encountered young people living in a context of honour, ranging from everyday control to violence or threats of violence from individuals within their networks. Concerns were raised about addressing HRV in education because of the risk of creating conflict in the classroom and reinforcing stereotypical values among young people. One approach to overcoming this is to teach about human rights and children's rights in general. The school social worker plays a key role in supporting young people living in an honour context, but building trusting relationships requires a long-term effort. There are concerns that reporting to social services may damage the relationships and there is lack of trust for social services' knowledge of HRV. In conclusion, there is a contradiction between the idea of human equality and the recognition of differences, which school staff perceive as creating challenging dilemmas when dealing with HRV.
