Nearly 3,300 people, predominantly women, sought refuge in Danish crisis centers in 2024, according to Statistics Denmark. The report highlights a significant number of women, with 3,106 stays recorded.

Following a legislative amendment in July 2024 granting men equal rights to access crisis center services, 129 men utilized these facilities. The updated laws ensure that male victims of violence receive the same support as women, including accommodations for their children, municipal counseling, and psychological assistance for both the men and their children. The gender was unidentifiable in 56 of the cases.

The presence of children was notable, with 45 percent of crisis center stays involving individuals accompanied by one or more children. In total, approximately 2,600 children were brought to crisis centers in 2024.

A victim survey conducted in late 2024 by the Ministry of Justice, the National Police, and the Crime Prevention Council revealed that approximately 50,000 citizens reported experiencing partner violence in the past year. The study indicated that men comprised 43 percent of the victims of partner violence.

The statistics for 2024 indicate that five percent of individuals and four percent of children staying at crisis centers are either anonymous or lack valid identification numbers, making it impossible for Statistics Denmark to ascertain their municipality of residence, age, gender, and origin. This anonymity also prevents tracking of multiple stays by the same individual within the year. Each crisis center reported the number of persons, number of children, and length of stay on admissions.
