Center for Voldsforebyggelse

What Center for Voldsforebyggelse does

Center for Voldsforebyggelse (CFV, Center for Violence Prevention) is a Danish non-profit association founded in 2019, headquartered in Aalborg with operational offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense. The organization pursues a mission to prevent and stop violence through knowledge, community, and change, organized around four levels of prevention from primary awareness to quaternary healing. Its work falls into three interconnected pillars: (1) Talk about Violence (Tal om Vold), which delivers free eight-week group programmes and confidential 1:1 conversations with violence specialists to survivors and their loved ones in-person and online; (2) Femicide Watch, an independent interdisciplinary monitoring body that collects and publishes comparable data on Danish femicides since 2000, with interactive visualization and international partnerships across 20+ countries; and (3) Training and Education, which sells paid teaching sessions (from 3,400 DKK per hour) to schools, youth education providers, and workplaces, alongside publications and a 2025-launched Consent and Boundaries Toolkit for professionals working with children aged 5-7, co-developed with French NGO L'Œil du Loups.

CFV is governed by a board of directors and operated by a secretariat of approximately 23 staff, including a director (Cecilie Kramer), an industry PhD (Ditte Bjerregaard, also Board Chair), a legal employee, a web developer, and an academic student assistant. Revenue is generated through tiered annual memberships (100 DKK student, 1,000 DKK organization, plus individual and pay-what-you-can tiers), paid training services with EAN invoicing for public institutions, and project-based grants from foundations including Helsefonden and Oak Foundation. The organization reaches customers through direct service delivery, institutional training sales, municipal partnerships (20+ Danish municipalities active, 90 contacted), and a self-serve member platform, while pursuing an explicit advocacy agenda centered on enshrining a 24-hour right to free specialised support, criminalizing femicide, and mandating violence prevention in school curricula.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Red Cross Denmark (Røde Kors): Large Danish humanitarian organization with adjacent victim-support and asylum-vulnerability programs; competes for similar foundation funding and government contracts but operates at much broader scale.
• Kvindehjemmet / Dansk Kvindesamfund: Historic Danish women's rights association with broader advocacy remit; overlaps CFV on gender-based violence policy work but extends to a much wider set of gender-equality issues.

Direct peers

• Danner: Danish nonprofit providing shelters, counseling, and advocacy for women exposed to violence; the closest Danish analogue to CFV's Talk about Violence service and a natural competitor for foundation funding and survivor mindshare in Denmark.
• National Domestic Violence Hotline (US): US nonprofit operating the national DV hotline plus resources and advocacy — directly comparable as a survivor-support and awareness platform with cross-sectoral referral and training services.
• Refuge (UK): UK's largest specialist domestic violence organization providing helpline, refuges, and advocacy — a direct model comparator for CFV's Talk about Violence offering and policy-influence strategy.
• Lev Uden Vold: Danish national effort focused on preventing violence in close relationships, operating parallel programs in awareness, prevention, and professional training — directly comparable to CFV's education and advocacy remit in Denmark.
• Dialog mod Vold: Danish treatment and knowledge center for violence in close relationships offering therapy, perpetrator treatment, and research — directly comparable to CFV on survivor support and violence prevention training.
• WAVE Network (Women Against Violence Europe): European umbrella network coordinating women's specialist services against violence, including femicide monitoring initiatives — comparable to CFV's international Femicide Watch network and policy advocacy across European countries.
