An investigation by SVT has revealed a significant gap in how social services protect children in homes suspected of honor-based violence. The findings show that two out of three boys are left in these environments while police investigations are ongoing. In contrast, the majority of girls in similar situations are removed and placed into protective care. This disparity suggests that boys are frequently overlooked as potential victims. Adam, a man who now lectures about his experiences, highlights the complex role of boys as both victims and perpetrators. He describes being forced to commit acts against his will in the name of honor. His testimony underscores the psychological toll and the systemic failure to provide safety for male children.
