On Saturday 4th, 2026, Peter Söderström, Co-founder and member of the Board of ADF, and his wife Christine Hörnhagen invited friends and colleagues to a wonderful dinner in their home in Stockholm with an opportunity to share stories, listening to each other, reflect on previous and ongoing partnerships as well as on future opportunities for collaboration.
The relations between those who were invited to the dinner were established many years ago, and has resulted in concrete collaboration in various projects, for example the international event Dignity which is an event that bring together colleagues and professionals with a primary interest in addressing violence broadly defined, in upholding the unending desire for dignity and justice, and in building a community with a common purpose.
Dignity as an event were initiated by the professionals and researchers working at The Centre for Responsed-Based Practice in Duncan, Vancouver Island, Canada. The first event took place in Canada and has since then also been carried out in New Zeeland, Australia and Sweden.
The conversation and the connection in the home of Peter Söderström and Christine Hörnhagen will be remembered as a warm and important meeting on relationships, experiences of supporting victims of violence, how to resist violence and on human dignity as a core value and a goal for the work we and partners are doing.
Thank you Peter and Kristina for inviting all of us, and for being wonderful hosts in your beautiful home.
The meeting gathered people from different organizations (Unizon, Talita, Centre for Responsed Based Practice, The Arts and Immigration Alliance and Another Development Foundation) and different sectors (academia, civil society, social service, and the legal system).
