The National Centre for Knowledge on Men's Violence Against Women (NCK) at Uppsala University and Academic Hospital is a national knowledge center on men's violence against women and intimate partner violence, honor-related violence and oppression, sexual violence, and prostitution and human trafficking.

Education is one of the cornerstones of NCK's activities. Men's violence against women and intimate partner violence is an independent interdisciplinary knowledge area. This field is now part of higher education programs within several disciplines. Knowledge about violence and its consequences is important in order to provide good care and adequate support to those who have been subjected to violence and their children. Knowledge is also needed to conduct preventive work, create resources, and to change attitudes in society.
For further information and description of the knowledge area, see NCK's website.
