This book has been made with an aim to both strengthen Nordic conversations about rape and other forms of sexual harm and strengthen international conversations about the Nordic region. The idea for the book grew out of collaborations and events organised by the Nordic Network for Research on Sexual Violence and we were lucky to receive economic support for organising a writer’s workshop, language editing and open access by the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology and Oslo Metropolitan University, and administrative support from the Department of Criminology and Sociology of Law at the University of Oslo.
