Requests for shelter at womens crises centres 2022

The statistics on inquiries to women's crisis centers aims to provide information on the demand for and the capacity of the crises centers based on the number of inquiries to this. The inquiries include both questions about available spots and general guidance. The statistics were first compiled in 2022 with data from the second half of 2021. Reporting to the statistics is voluntary.

Statistical presentation

The statistics are an annual count of the number of inquiries to women's crises centers, which have been set up and operated in accordance with §109 of the Act on Social Services. Among other things, the statistics cover the duration of the inquiry, who submits the inquiry, and what the purpose of the inquiry is. The statistics contribute with an insight into the reasons for and the extent of requests for available spots, as well as where women, e.g. due to lack of space, instead refer to.

Statistical processing

Data for these statistics is collected via quarterly reports from the individual women's crises centers. By the end of the year, the collected data is processed to a single dataset. The majority of the reported inquiries are anonymous which means the inquiry does not include a valid CPR number. The crisis centers do not approve their data afterwards.

Relevance

Accuracy and reliability

Reporting of social security numbers to the statistics is voluntary, and 95 pct. of the reports are based on anonymous social security numbers.
