Report: Denmark has a ‘pervasive rape culture’

The human rights group’s report said “flawed legislation” and “an insidious culture of victim blaming” had resulted in “endemic impunity for rapists in the country”.

It added that while gender equality has been achieved in many areas of Danish society, authorities must do more to address sexual violence — pointing to the 2017 Gender Equality Index by the European Institute for Gender Equality, which said Denmark is home to the highest prevalence of violence against women, including sexual violence, of any European Union member state.
