Alla Kvinnors Hus

What Alla Kvinnors Hus does

Alla Kvinnors Hus (AKH) is Sweden's first women's shelter, founded in 1978 in Stockholm as a politically unaffiliated non-profit association (ideell förening). The organization provides direct support services to women, men, non-binary persons, and children affected by domestic violence, sexual violence, honor-related violence, and psychological abuse. Core offerings include a 24/7-staffed protected housing facility (8 rooms and 5 apartments accommodating 13 adults plus their children and pets), an open counseling reception (öppen mottagning) with same-day appointments, a crisis support phone line (08-644 09 20), individual and group counseling series, anh\303\266rigst\303\266d (nearby support) for relatives, and specialized support groups for 55+, LGBTQ+, sexual violence survivors, and post-separation violence cases. Approximately 100 children live in the protected housing annually.

AKH has developed a proprietary structured conversation methodology called the AKH Method (AKH-metoden), formalized in 2016 from 40+ years of accumulated client experience. The Method is delivered as both individual and group-format conversation programs covering violence in close relationships and sexual violence, and is also licensed as a 2-3 day professional training program for external social workers, psychologists, and treatment staff. Operational technology is limited to Kaddio (a third-party GDPR-compliant booking and documentation platform) and standard website contact forms, with no proprietary software or AI capabilities. Children at the facility are supported via the specialized TRAPPAN method, and risk assessments follow SARA, Patriark, and FREDA methodologies.

The business model is hybrid non-profit: primary funding comes from annual operational grants from Stockholm City's social services department (Stockholms stads socialf\303\266rvaltning), supplemented by L\303\244nsstyrelsen/Region Stockholm development funds and protected housing placement fees paid by referring municipalities. Additional revenue streams include individual counseling fees (200 SEK/session with hardship exemptions), annual membership fees (200 SEK/year), lecture and training fees, monthly giving (m\303\245nadsgivare, tax-deductible at 200 SEK+/month), corporate membership tiers (St\303\266df\303\266retag, V\303\244nf\303\266retag, Partnerf\303\266retag), and donations from individuals, foundations, and 50+ corporate partners. The organization holds Svensk Insamlingskontroll 90-konto certification and, as of September 2025, an IVO operating license for protected housing. Go-to-market is community-led, combining crisis support phone lines, walk-in reception, digital intake forms, printed information materials distributed across hospitals and public venues, and a volunteer supporter network.
