Norway has recorded an increase in cases of violence against women

Norway has seen an increase in violence against women, and they are increasingly reporting such cases. This was reported on January 1 by The Guardian newspaper.

"Employees of Norway's largest women's health organization have noted an increase in the number of women reporting violence and sexual harassment," the article says.

According to experts, staff at women's health centers have noted an increase in the number of women seeking help and advice after experiencing violence. According to statistics from the Norwegian Center for Research on Violence and Traumatic Stress, one in ten women in Norway has experienced serious violence from an intimate partner.

According to the newspaper, attention to this problem was particularly attracted due to the scandal in the royal family of Norway. In February 2026, the son of Norwegian Crown Princess Marius Borg Hoibi is due to appear in court on 32 charges, including "four cases of rape, domestic violence against a former partner and illegal videotaping of a number of women without their knowledge or consent."

According to the newspaper, Hoibi can be sentenced to 10 years in prison if he is found guilty on the most serious charges.
