Abstract:
In Denmark, some 45 shelters for battered women offer counselling and accommodation for
women who have been subjected to abuse. Forty of the centres are organised under the Danish
National Organisation of Shelters for Battered Women and their Children (LOKK) and they
have total accommodation capacity for nearly 270 women and 325 children1.
LOKK’s Statistics on Children 2007 is based on information about 1679 children collated
from 37 shelters in the period January 1, 2007, thru December 31, 2007. One third of these
children spent a week or less in the shelter, and only little information has been gathered
about these children. With few exceptions, the data upon which calculations and analyses in
this statistics are based, refers to the 1120 children who stayed in a shelter for a week or
longer. Chapter 10, however, specifically describes the children who stayed for a week or less
in a shelter.
LOKK has ordered the study, and the Unit on Social Vulnerability under the National Board
of Specialist Consultancy and Social Services has gathered, processed and produced the statistics.
The Minister for Gender Equality has financed the study and the report.
