According to section 109 of the Consolidation Act on Social Services, Danish municipalities are obligated to offer temporary accommodation to persons who have been subjected to violence in intimate relations. This obligation can be fulfilled through both public and private shelters, ensuring that victims of domestic violence have access to safe and supportive temporary housing. The shelter system forms a central component of Denmark’s response to domestic violence and is supported by public funding and collaboration with a range of service providers.
