No issue is too big or too small to discuss with them. The first three hours of counseling are free of cost. If you want to receive additional counseling, you can negotiate the payment or even receive a subsidy payment from the government.
Their place is wheelchair accessible. All events for the organization are in wheelchair-accessible buildings. Samtökin ’78 offer access to interpreters and sign language interpreters when needed.

Information about domestic violence for queer persons
Religious abuse
When someone uses a spiritual practice or religion to frighten you, hurt you or control you, it is called religious abuse.
Honor-based abuse
Honor-based abuse is when someone, usually a close relative, inflicts abuse on you to protect the honor of the family. When honor is set above your human rights, that is abuse.
