The purpose of the study is to get a deeper understanding of how professionals who work at women’s shelter with women who have been exposed to honor-related violence and oppression experience their working conditions and their role in relation to the problem. Partly based on how they value their competence for the work quality and performance, and how they consider that organizational conditions both directly and indirectly affects their work. The study is based on nine semi-structured interviews and the material was analyzed using a thematic analysis. The result shows that the respondents think that honor-related violence and oppression is a complex problem and that it is not possible to connect the women to a specific culture or religion. Collegial support is important for the professionals who work with honor-related issues as the work tends to be heavy and further the result shows that it is important to be humble in your profession when meeting people from different cultures and women who have been subjected to honor-related violence or oppression. Conclusions that can be drawn from the result are that the professionals feel that they possess the knowledge required to be able to meet the women who have been exposed.
