Sweden’s Moderate Party is advocating for an expansion of current travel bans to better protect children at risk of honor-based violence. Currently, travel restrictions can be imposed on children facing this threat, but the party believes these measures need to be broadened. The proposal aims to proactively prevent forced travel connected to practices like forced marriage and female genital mutilation. By extending the scope of potential travel bans, authorities would have increased power to intervene before children are taken abroad against their will. Supporters argue this is a crucial step in safeguarding vulnerable youth and addressing the serious issue of honor-based violence within Sweden. The party contends this preventative approach is more effective than reactive measures taken after a child has already been removed from the country. Further debate and legislative action will be required to implement the proposed changes.
