Sweden Claimed the Best Country for Women
EuroWeekly News ^ | 14 May 2024 | Anna Akopyan

Sweden was claimed the best country for women by the World of Statistics on the social media platform, X.

Placed number one in the list of the best countries for women to live in, Sweden was followed by Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands.

The World of Statistics shared the information according to the US News and World Report from 2023 Best Countries for Women rankings. The survey was composed of responses from almost 9,000 women, listing the countries according to the respondents´ views about gender equality standards in their country of residence.

The women surveyed were asked about income, career, safety and the legal rights of women in their countries. They were also questioned about the state of the justice system and cases of violence against women, placing Sweden on top of the safest places in the world for women.

The latest study from the UN World Report also stated that 91,7 per cent of legal frameworks in Sweden promote and monitor gender equality.

While the gender pay gap still exists, in Sweden it is estimated that an average woman makes approximately 87 per cent of a man’s monthly salary, which is above other European countries and the United States.

The best country for women, if they like being raped I guess.

Sweden IS the rape capital of Europe now after all.

Except for the getting raped by Muslims part.

Other than that it’s Aces.

It’s the best for women that want to get rape by Muslim migrants.

Isn’t Sweden the rape capital of Europe (and possibly the world)?

Old saying: “Ten thousand Swedes came through the weeds, chased by one Norwegian.” Needs to be updated now. Alas.

Best for women? Is this meant as a statement to the ‘refugees’ that are graping their way thru the country?

Exactly.

“In 2009, Amnesty International published a report on rape in the Nordic countries, criticizing the low conviction rates in Sweden, citing previously published estimates from Brå of around 30,000 incidents of rape, with less than 13 percent of the 3,535 rape crimes reported resulting in a decision to start legal proceedings and 216 persons convicted in 2007, with Amnesty using the word “impunity” to describe the situation.

According to a London Metropolitan University study in 2009, funded by the European Commission Daphne Programme—primarily focused on attrition, the process by which rape cases fail to proceed through the justice system—Sweden had the highest number of reported rapes in Europe (almost twice that of England and Wales, based on 2002-2007 UNODC figures), that may or may not be attributed to the fact that in 2005 there has been reform in the sex crime legislation.

That change in the legislation applies for rapes reported in 2006 and 2007 but it doesn’t apply for the previous rapes reported in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 before the change and when the reported rapes in Sweden were still the highest in Europe.[24] The reform made the legal definition of rape one of the widest legal definitions in the world, but not the lowest conviction rate. Insufficient evidence was the most frequent reason why cases were discontinued before court (53%).”

Ah, I fondly remember Gerhgan’s sister Gerkin. I was always in a pickle with her.

Is this you?

I use to date a gal “Gerhgan Kirhgen from across the Fiord in Sveeden”.
