The problem is now endemic – not only are women not safer in Europe, but the backlash against the men is as merciless as it is towards the female victims.
More worrying is that the crimes apparently occur almost monthly – that is startlingly frequent considering how rarely the issue features in the media.

It is a never-ending, cyclical dilemma that has become a global issue.
Which only calls for global action.
