N2  - In Sweden, one woman is killed every 10 days by a man known to her and, according to recent police statistics, approximately 39 women are battered daily. Despite these figures, Sweden is typically depicted as a nearly egalitarian society in which sexual equality reforms have been more progressive than in most other western industrialized states. The results of this first nation-wide survey of battered women and shelter staff show, however, that Swedish authorities only reluctantly respond to women in need of assistance and protection from the men who abuse them.
