In order to maintain standards of honor, the men practice physical, psychological and sexual violence. Social control has been shown to be a large part of psychological violence, where women are limited and controlled in their everyday life. Furthermore, the study shows that Swedish society contributes to the stigmatization of honor-related violence and oppression.
