"Migrant women are amongst the most vulnerable to violence from their partners and they are amongst the most marginalised and hard to reach in Denmark.

"While the Danish Government has, to some extent, acted on the recommendation from the previous review, and tabled an act on psychological violence in close relations, Danish Women’s Society is concerned about the absence of a gender specific language.

It is therefore important that the language applied in the legal framework is specific and clearly demonstrates the intend of the law. Consequently the law should use the term 'violence against women' which would also make it consistent with the Council of Europe’s 'Convention on preventing and combating Violence against women and domestic violence'" (2).
