Sexual harassment is on the increase in Europe. The situation is out of control and women are complaining about it. Based on statistics and reports that appear in newspapers, it has become a serious social issue.

Sweden and Denmark have the highest sexual harassment rate in the world, ranging between 80 to 100 percent. This means that 80 percent of adults in these two countries have at some point of their life been a victim of sexual harassment. These percentages are based on a study conducted in 2012 by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA), which ensures that the fundamental rights of people living in the European Union are protected.

France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Finland also have high rates of sexual harassment, standing at 60 to 70 percent. Gatestone Institute conducted a study in 2010 about rape in Europe and called Sweden the “Rape Capital of Europe.”

In the United States, 2017 has been dubbed the year of sexual assaults. A woman has accused Roy Moore, a candidate for the US Senate from Alabama, of sexually abusing her when she was 14. Another two women also came forward alleging that Moore also sexually assaulted them. One of the women was 17. Comedian and actor Louis CK has also been accused of sexual harassment. He admitted that he had sexually assaulted six women.

Moreover, there is the infamous case of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, and President Trump has also been accused of the sexual harassment of women.

These reports and statistics show that the intermingling of the sexes in America and Europe has led to the harassment of women and even to depriving them of their rights.
