What nxtME does

nxtME (Föreningen nxtME) is a Swedish non-profit association founded in 2012 and headquartered in Stockholm, providing support, education, and advocacy for individuals affected by incest — sexual abuse by close family members or persons in dependent relationships. The organization operates across three pillars: direct support to survivors (via telephone helpline, anonymous chat on the Unizon platform, individual conversations, peer support groups, contact-person accompaniment, and legal process guidance), education and prevention (lectures for schools, social services, healthcare professionals, and the general public, plus an annual web-based training license called 'Prata om incest'), and opinion/advocacy work (annual Stoppa incest-dagen webcast event, media appearances, and policy engagement). With ~15 staff and a substantial volunteer base, nxtME has conducted more than 17,000 support interventions since inception and maintains local operations in Stockholm, Västra Götaland, and Dalarna while serving survivors nationwide.

The organization is not a technology company. Its digital footprint consists of a content website (nxtme.se), a web-based training platform, and digital support channels (chat, email); no proprietary software, APIs, or technology products are described. Revenue is sourced from government grants (Socialstyrelsen, Stockholms stad, Göteborgs stad, Region Dalarna, Region Stockholm, Brottsoffermyndigheten), foundation grants (Allmänna arvsfonden, Gålöstiftelsen, Stiftelsen Oscar Hirsch Minne), individual and corporate donations, age-based membership fees (0-250 SEK annually), and institutional licensing for web-based training. Pricing for survivor-facing services is free of charge; the 90-konto certification from Svensk Insamlingskontroll (March 2026) validates that at least 75% of donations are directed to operations.

Newly secured strategic assets include the 90-konto certification (March 2026), a three-year Allmänna arvsfonden-funded project 'Att läka genom film' (Healing Through Film, 2026-2029) to produce two fictional films on PTSD following sexual violence, launch of relative-focused support groups (October 2025), and third-place recognition in VINCI's international ConnectHER competition (2025). The organization is governed by a board chaired by Malin Hydén with Lena Morin Nilsén as Secretary General and founder. Strategic intent includes expanding geographic presence beyond the current three regions and broadening the educational product portfolio.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network): Largest US anti-sexual violence organization operating the National Sexual Assault Hotline and extensive public education. Comparable mission (incest and sexual violence survivor support) at much larger scale, serving as a scale benchmark for what nxtME's model could become.
• Nationellt centrum för kvinnofrid (NCK): Sweden's national knowledge and research center on violence against women, hosted at Uppsala University. Comparable in serving women subjected to male violence but with a broader academic/policy mandate and larger institutional footprint than nxtME.
• RFSU (Riksförbundet för sexuell upplysning): Swedish Association for Sexuality Education with broader sexual health, education, and advocacy remit. Overlaps with nxtME on education about sexual abuse and consent, though RFSU operates at significantly larger scale across Sweden.

Others

• Barnfonden (Childhood Foundation Sweden): Swedish child rights organization focused internationally on children's rights and protection from abuse. Adjacent in mission (protecting children from violence/abuse) but operates internationally rather than on domestic Swedish survivor services.
• MÄN (Män för jämställdhet): Swedish men's organization for gender equality that co-developed the #skamskifte initiative with nxtME. Adjacent rather than competing; relevant as an ecosystem collaborator on preventing sexualized violence and engaging male audiences.
• Suicide Zero: Swedish suicide prevention organization partnering with nxtME on Stoppa incest-dagen panels addressing the incest-suicide link. Not a direct competitor but a closely adjacent ecosystem partner serving overlapping at-risk populations.

Direct peers

• Unizon: National Swedish federation of 150+ women's and youth shelters; nxtME is a member organization and collaborates with Unizon on advocacy, the shared chat platform, and events like Socionomdagarna. Directly comparable in mission and survivor-support delivery.
• WONSA (Women for Organization against Sexual Abuse): Swedish organization specializing in treatment, research, and education on sexual abuse; nxtME refers survivors to WONSA for clinical care and co-hosts Stoppa incest-dagen panels. Closely aligned mission on sexual abuse recovery and professional education.
• NAPAC (National Association for People Abused in Childhood): UK charity offering support services and recovery resources for adult survivors of childhood abuse, including a national helpline and education. Closest international functional peer to nxtME in scope and survivor-focused mission.
• Bris (Barnombudsmannen ideell förening): Sweden's leading children's rights organization offering a national helpline and chat for children and young people. Comparable as a Swedish nonprofit providing direct support to children/youth in distress, including those affected by abuse.
