Recently, a new law came into force in Ireland, "Jennie's law", which means that information about convicted offenders is published in public records.
Now the Moderates want to review the legal possibilities for introducing a similar register in Sweden, if the party remains in government after the election.
"This is aimed at what is typical of men's violence against women. But I am open to dangerous women also being included," says Strömmer.
Difficult decisions
In Ireland, the legislation means in short that anyone convicted of serious crimes such as murder, rape, sexual assault or gross violation of a woman's privacy will have their name and information published in public searchable registers, following a decision by the judge in the case.
Strömmer imagines that the Swedish register should be structured in a similar way. But there are difficult trade-offs, he says.
Those who have committed crimes must be given a reasonable chance to return. There is also a risk that information sensitive to crime victims will be revealed in the process. You can look at whether information should be filtered out after a certain time and whether crime victims should be required to give their consent, says Strömmer and continues:
But the interest in creating broader security for women in society means that we are ready to open this door.
Increased controls in apps
The Moderates also propose that dating apps should be given increased opportunities to carry out background checks, by gaining limited access to criminal records, in order to protect users against perpetrators.
"Women's vulnerability is often talked about, but that can't just be done in words. It has to be done in action too, and that has to involve offensive measures," says Linda Obiedzinski, vice chair of the Moderate Youth Ban.
