The Committee enquired about the incidence of domestic violence amongst Norwegians that were not of foreign descent. The presenter noted that no studies have been conducted recently to establish whether such prevalence exists. Furthermore, the director noted that the majority of Norwegian women seek support from family and friends, hence very few access the safe house service, but will utilise the counselling services during office hours. Individual counselling and group therapy is provided to all the women at the shelter. Moreover, therapeutic intervention is also provided to the children.
