Written later, from the reports of that day.
What it means for you
If you are a victim of domestic violence, you can ask a court for a protection order, which can require the abuser to attend a treatment programme. The abuser pays the cost, or it is covered by compulsory health insurance. For now there is no clear procedure that says who checks whether the abuser actually goes to treatment.
What happened
According to the Ministry of Health, 8 people were ordered to treatment in 2024, 6 in 2025 and 5 in the first eight months of 2026. The Ministry of Labour says there is no working tool that sets out how the measure is enforced. The Ministry of Health does not hold data on those who drop out of treatment.
