Swedish girls suffer widespread harassment: report

"Sweden needs to do much more to clamp down on rapists, according to reports from Amnesty International and the United Nations. Jennifer Heape examines the disparity between the country's high incidence of rape and its low conviction rate."

http://europenews.dk/en/node/25872

Why doesn't this trigger a response in Sweden to protect it's children?

6%??? Isn't this figure outrageous?

@magic1964 i think it is the opposite of what you say. The Amnesty International says that Sweden is wrong for not enforcing rape laws. as reported in the local.

"Sweden needs to do much more to clamp down on rapists, according to reports from Amnesty International and the United Nations. Jennifer Heape examines the disparity between the country's high incidence of rape and its low conviction rate. "

Castration is an effective punishment.

The biggest concern to me is that these victims are children .. this is about girls not women ..

And let us be clear about this - it is not the breast feeding Swedish men raping the girls, nor some Norwegian trolls from the woods.

But you want it exactly like this, don't you?

This would be serious if it was true, but I doubt the quality of the survey, especially if its organizer wants to get media attention. First of all it is statistically influenced by being done at a clinic and not a more common place like a school. it could have been even done in a section where rape victims are likely to be sent. Second, the formulation is also important: I've heard that Sweden tends to classify as a rape also a situation when girl agree to have a sex while being drunk, and later changes her mind.

This makes for an eye catching story, but you need to ask yourself who did the research, and do they have an agenda.

The Umia group findings may be self-serving. Harassment could mean "you throw like a girl" or it could be very troublesome in nature and tone. Rape was not defined. It may be a seven year old boy trying to simulate sex with a seven year old girl or a homosexual pedophile intent on doing what they do. I believe THE LOCAL should have provided more detail. But then again, I'm usually wrong.

Think of the children....

I feel sorry for the girls...., punishment should be strict for the rapists.

I agree with CarlBlack. Thousands of teens are drinking alcohol in liters. A girl wakes up the next morning with a guy in her bed and claims a rape. What the hell? The guys are usually as drunk as the chicks - why the responsibility is solely on them, may I ask?

Many of the cases that ARE considered a rape in liberal Sweden are not considered as such in many western countries.

@carlback and @uncle ,

In the case you imagine who is giving drugs or alcohol to underage people. It's illegal even in Sweden to provide alcohol to people under 18. 2nd in Sweden as in most of the west it's impossible for a person beyond a certain level of intoxication to consent .. so in this case Sweden is no different.

I know of many swedish girls that "fake that they have been rape" during trips in order to claim insurence money. According to Trigg hansa, they are not allow to ask for details about it and give away up tp 150.000 kr not to make them feel unconfortable with the situation.

I am also aware of the same situation in Stockholm, they try to catch unaware immigrants to then claim money at forsakningskassan.

I still believe sweden should have bigger punishment and I don't want to underestimate awful situations that might be happening. But this other side of the story exists. Swedes can be corrupt as well.

If you were citizens with guns and not disarmed slaves to a government, this wouldn't be an issue. Enjoy your status as sheep.

From what is mentioned in the article survey is extremely biased. I agree that punishment should be a lot more harsh for repeat offenders and rape should be defined more clearly. if you were drunk and regret having sex, you should not be able to say rape unless you resisted or other person got you drunk (or drugged you) without you knowing.

@ThoreauHD

Have you considered that rapists would also get the gun. You should stay in USA (or any other country where you can enjoy your gun) and enjoy your gun which gives you so much peace of mind (and it might actually protect you if you encounter some criminal who is unarmed or worse with gun than you).

I doubt you can provide a reliable survey that proves guns reduce crime.

I'm not sure of the accuracy of this survey but sure its a well known statistic that rape is high in Sweden. I do have to say though I believe alot do "claim" to be rapped which havn't and classifications on certain things make you wonder. I feel sorry for the girls/women who do get treated badly and rapped.

Just as every country there is a certain amount of currupt business which goes on and sweden is no different. I do also believe sweden were one if not the last country to stop incest so I think its so mind-boggling to say the least.

funny how they choose to leave out that this study was conducted among visitors at juvenile reception and diagnostic centers at nine cities/municipalities across the nation... People visting such a place usually go there to search for help of different kind so the outcome of this survey is not very surprising. Bad tabloid journalism I'd say...

See Aftonbladet's article: http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article5824723.ab

this is so sad. sometimes i think Sverige has to strengthen measurements against rapists but then when i think about it more carefully i find it useless.

Do you really think when lets say a guy is about to do it think about the legal punishments that would follow him, maybe after finishing the crime but not before and putting some strict punishments i suppose just turn the number of raped girls to missing girls !

Most of the rapists are probably Muslim immigrants. Next door, a Norwegian political official responded to reports of sexual assaults perpetrated by Muslim men against native women by advising Norwegian girls to dress more modestly to accommodate the religious views of their "guests." That's the price you pay for multi-culturalism, white guilt, political correctness, and liberal immigration laws.

Sweedish Girls if your men will not defend you.. Go to America..

There they have all manner of special suprises for Terrorists who attack women or anyone else.

What the bloody hell is going on in Sweden????? You know its your immigrant community that is doing this and yet your media and politicians are silent/complicite. Your police stand by and let it continue.

Is it OK for migrants to harrass and rape your women? Do they deserve it? Do they have no Human Rights?

Have you NO BALLS.....

Why can't you speak out and name the communities and cultures that perpetrate these crimes? Why no action?

My ancesters were of Viking blood who came to England. I can you that it wouldn't be tolerated where I live.

Perhaps all the Vikings left Scandinavia and just left the sheep behind.

You face extinction and seem to be happy to embrace it.

Bizzarre..........

Poor Sweeden and poors little girls...

Get a burka and then you'll get peace. remenber that "miscreant" women got the "right" of bein raped by muslims...

Don't worry, it's nearly the same in all European countries having a big immigration from muslims countries... as they say, immigration is a fabulous chance for us....rapes, assaults, violences, robberies, attacks and anti-White racism...

Hooo lucky are we !

Comment: Its funny to see how the lynch mob is always ready to place all the blame of their shortcomings on a minority group. Almost reminiscent to the what they did to my ancestors in the 30s,40s, and pretty much till today. Muslims are not the onew to fear you know. It is people like you and all the garbage you expound from that little tiny brain you walk around with. It wasnt a muslim publisher at aftontabladet that printed the article againts the IDF. It was a respected member of this society. White, Christian, married with kids and a whife who probably cheats on him.

@here for the summer: Do you think that teens don't find ways to get alcohol themselves? You never did it?

And everyone who modifies voluntarily his cognitive abilities by alcohol or other drugs is responsible for what he is doing while drunk. If you drive while being drunk and cause an accident, the fact that you were unable to control yourself is no excuse, and you can hardly blame the other person you were drinking with. And the same is with other things. Everyone has a chance to observe what alcohol is doing with him, and next time decide for himself whether to drink or not.

These people hide behind the anonyminity that these forums provide to say their ill informed, passionate rants. If you really feel like this, why dont you join in on the annual neo nazi demonstrations in Stockholm, carry a placard or something...at least people would respect you more if you publicly let your opinions be known. Ooops..they probably wont accept u either seeing that no matter how much romanticized viking blood you have...youre STILL an immigrant..taking their jobs and their women

and to the Local....reading the comment section of this paper depresses me. I am all for freedom of speech..but there must be more that can be done to encourage intelligent discourse in your user commentary section.

Comments from the aforementioned users cheapen the integrity of the paper.

Its sad that this is one of the major papers for the English speaking community in Sweden

A bit of a shocker for a country that supposedly prides itself on taking good care of its young people.

This is unbelievable. You know, only 2% of the world's population are White women of breeding age. They are all so striking beautiful and kind at heart, yet they throw themselves away in the name of political correctness and destroy their bloodlines and their country by miscegenation in the face of the men that love them so much. It is truly tragic. All these native lands of Europeans are being overrun by people that have no concern other than to miscegenate with the local populace and systematically wipe out all the Whites that are left in the world (it's 8% of the world population now) while arrogant, hedonistic Whites are off partying and not having children. I live in Brooklyn, NY, and am half-White and half-Chinese, and I have nothing but respect for Whites, how beautiful and kind they are, how tolerant and open minded, and their wonderful, vast culture, and am quite jealous of pure-blood Whites that do not know what a gift they were born with. Yet you throw it away! I can only tell you what a living hell it is to live in Brooklyn. My girlfriend is constantly harassed and I can do nothing about it by law. It is truly terrible. I am begging, literally begging the West to wake up and stop this demographic nightmare, or we will be plunged into a world of darkness and ugliness that would make even a strong man like me want to leave it forever.

Such a sad dirty and discredited little country Sweden has become, only since they adopted multiculture.

To be silent about these statistics and about those who commit them means to condemn the victims of the rapes. If the state does not protect the children, then the law should be taken in own hands. Two and a half years prison for two rapes (as I've read lately ) means mocking the poor girls. This has to stop.

There are so many people blaming immigrants for most rapes, can someone provide link to any reliable survey which indicates this ? I am not disputing that immigrants are more likely to commit most crime, i just want some proof that increase in rape cases in last 25 years is mostly due to immigration.

From what I know most rapes (73% in USA) are committed by people the victim knows and occur in their homes (> 66%, with ~ 40% in victims home) so it is hard to believe that situation in Sweden is completely opposite and immigrants are responsible for most rapes (at least when victim is native swede).

To the people who think that rapes do not occur in USA, ~16% of women in USA are sexually assaulted in their lifetime (maybe you should make punishments more harsh). You should also look at South Africa (women there are more likely to be raped than learning how to read).

this is scary.

in colombia (where i live) you rape someone and igf you get caught youll be dead in minutes. if you make it after the beating youll stay in jail for 40 years.

I want to read the survey (If you can provide the link of Brå report mentioned in both links that would be great). Both articles were were written by people who are not very fond of Muslims, so it is hard to believe what they say without any reference. Wouldn't it have been better to call criminals blacks or Africans than Muslims, after all top 4 countries mentioned are in Africa, where rape is much more common (this includes both Muslim and Christian countries) than anywhere else in the world. Also if i am not wrong aren't most Muslims in Sweden from Middle-east, Iran etc.

I searched 'Brå' site and according to one report there were 2261 rapes (which included penetration) in 2004, 3 times higher than two decades ago, increase is partly due to "legislative change introduced in 1998 has led to certain offences that would previously have been recorded as sexual coercion or attempted rape, subsequently being recorded as consummated crimes". It also mentions that in only 20% of rapes victim was committed by complete strangers.

It would be interesting to find how many victims are immigrants. If anyone knows please answer.

Why are Swedes rapists? Commentary on an article a week or two back about Swedes not making a big deal about sex are exactly the reason there is so much raping and sex abuse in Sweden. The males are trained to take advantage of the mentality of non-resistance by Swedish girls. This is a very sick phenomenon. Meanwhile, the Swedish girls are not very intelligent it appears. Perhaps this is what happens over time in all societies in which Jewish citizens have declined in population.

I see someone is trying has put up a link to the bnp site in support of an argument - what a fool !

This is for DreEstwd and all the obviously uneducated people on this forum.

Where are the statistics that conclusively link the rise in rapes to the rise in immigrants? (except fjordman...everyone knows he is a spreader of neo nazi propaganda) Which brings me to my other point...people should check the integrity of their sources before they quote of source from their sources.

The local just wants to increase their readership which is why they print sensational news like this. They neglect to state exactly who comprised this study group. what a convenient deletion! Their study group was skewed toward troubled youths...which makes the incidence of this higher when compared to the national level. Thus it is not a good indicator of national stats. Additionally, I didnt call anyone racist...I called you guys RETARDED...there is a difference

Also...where in my section did I say or even remotely imply to ignore rapes? I am a female...I agree with everyone else that holds the view that sweden should have tougher sentences for their rapists...they talk about the human rights of the criminals...but I wonder if they think about the human rights of the victims. Rape is abhorrent regardless of who does it. Period. So what I dont understand is how come people dont stick to the topic...that is what I was commenting on. Its amazing how on the local anytime there is something about the general rise in crime...people often jump to the muslim immigrants...and thats a bit unfair

Where are the stats?

In the rare incidence that you do 'quote from somewhere, where are these stats that u guys use coming from?

Just because you THINK something is true..doesnt mean it is ACTUALLY true... you let your distaste for a certain group of people cloud your judgement..the same thinking of HITLER actually...he blamed the jews for the social ills...and eventually led people to exterminate millions of them

learn from history

elevate your mind

Sweden and its people will be history in around two generations.

Do you have lemmings in Northern Sweden? Have you adopted the myth of mass suicide?

I will watch the disapearance of the Swedish race with interest.

"Concealed handgun laws reduce violent crime for two reasons. First, they reduce the number of attempted crimes because criminals are uncertain which potential victims can defend themselves. Second, victims who have guns are in a much better position to defend themselves." (Lott interview UC Press - http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/493636.html)

Read "More Guns, Less Crime" by John R. Lott - it is well documented, footnoted throughout and makes a compelling case sampling statistics regarding crime and the distribution of firearms in all 3,054 counties in the United States between 1977 and 1994.

Also, those who do not wish to carry are vicariously protected by those who do.

I am level headed, a pilot and spent four years in the US Army. I've been round guns since my father taught me to shoot when I was seven years old and I carry a concealed handgun at all times and places the law allows. It's just a tool.

One big reason the rape-percentage is so high in Sweden is because it probably has among the most strict definition of it in the world.

E.g. rape = 15 year old has sex with a 14 year old (underage/minor), or any adult touching an underage in ANY perceivable sexual way.

Most countries just consider rape a violent sexual assault on women.

Anyway, it's a shame for every citizen in Sweden that the country does such a poor job of protecting it's children.

Here you have some interesting statistics. Not about rape but about robbery and the number of immigrants in the region.

The correlation is quite interesting.

grey = number of citizens in the municipality.

blue= number of people with foreign background in the municipality 2008/2009 (both parents born outside Sweden)

red = robbery total of 1996-2008

Dear DreEstwd

I have a couple burning questions.

1) What planet are you from?

2) If you have a couple bad apples in a bunch, does that make the whole bunch rotten?

In case youre confused about why Im bringing up apples here...its what you call an ANALOGY...let me break it down for you

You perceive muslims as the cause of rapes..and because of that according to u..they are all bad.

3) Show me these so called EU stats that fjordman and the other white supremacist websites sourced their prints from?

I challenge you..I really want to see where on any official EU sites would they print that there is a POSITIVE correlation between the rise of the moslem pop in EU to the rise in crime..thats the pedestal on which your whole bullshit argument is based

4) Do you have a job? or ANYTHING to occupy your time during the day other than to look up stats in FJORDMAN who said that the Bosnian war was blown way out of proportion by the 'establishment'. Seeing that this man is your idol..who is this 'establishment'...or the other mythical places he bases his arguments?

Its sorta like you read one blog...or one set of views and form your whole opinion on it

You said Im short on facts??? Quoting from Fjordman who is an anonymous blogger is like quoting from Daffy Duck..who is he..why is it that people who have these views cant have some BALLS and identify exactly who they are and say your opinions out loud

thus the reason why I said you should go to the nazi demonstrations because beside the factt that they are racist, they are also fiercly nationalistic and islamophobic...sounds like they are right up your alley..two out of three aint bad

Furthermore..you seem to think Islam is the problem...you need a lesson in comparison it seems...

what about the Christian euro descendants who are now in the middle east not only raping but killing thousands of people based on someone's bogus war...wasnt it the christians who also dropped the atomic bomb in Japan??

If islam is bad..then using your reasoning..Christians are the root of all evil.

but now I wish to revise one of my ealier statements...I really think you are an unapologetic racist. You hide behind your ill begotten pseudo facts and this anonymous blog site to say your crap...

5) ( and this is the last question..I promise)...Did your mommy deny you a teat when you were young? why are you so angry? you have a chip on your shoulder for middle eastern people and so you say anything to discredit them as a people

Furthermore...I am done cheapening myself to argue with half brained, hairless chested 'men' like yourself

continue with your angry tirade..and to the local..I really am gonna stop reading your user comments...you have a bunch of islamophobe white supremacists subscribing to your site..which is abhorrent

@avngingandbright

I felt so depressed after reading your comment. I often forget that people with beliefs such as yours do exist. Man, you've got some serious stuff going on in your brain. Get some help. Btw, way to go, trinaican.

well from what i understand from when i was in sweden... there are a lot of rapes going on in sweden with immigrant and swedes toward swedish women.

one thing i also noticed is that SOME OF THE GIRLS are asking for it. i watch so many swedish girls be the BIGGEST TEASERS in the world... and leave with who ever and then claim they didnt want what they got.

maybe sweden should legalize pepper spray or some common no fatal self defense mechanism. im in Nevada, USA ... and here my roommate carriers a knife AND ITS LEGAL.

defend yourself and stop being a tease...maybe it would lower the swedish rape statistics. AND.. remember... sweden is know for it liberal views. REMEMBER SWEDISH EROTICA????

JUST SAYING!!!!

@ Authentica

thank you...the local needs to take a good look at this DreEstwd fella...and the rest of these chicken brained slimy maggots. Imagine this morning. I was peacefully reading another article...enjoying other ppl's intelligent comments until I came accross this baboon's babble.

Ruined my morning coffee

He is always in some strife or agument with another person with his bogus arguments and he is quick to jump from commenting on how bad the actual crimeis to try to guess and even betting that it was a muslim middle eastern immigrant that caused it

I read his rationale for saying it must be a muslim for a crime commited in Malmo ( Malmo, mercedes=muslim)

and he claims he aint a racist???

haha

and you know what is even more comical..if he lives in Sweden....he is an immigrant himself...I dont understand how some immigrants see themselves as better than other immigrants.

If you have a problem with immigrants..then why is he here?

If this racist had a problem with middle eastern people in general...and he obviously likes to check online for anti moslem stuff..he could have easily seen that Sweden has alot of muslims...and he probably...for his own peace of mind...should not have not come

Im sure his Google search for his racist shreiks goes something like this:' People who dont like moslems' or ' If you despise moslems..raise your right hand' or some crap like that

Im not a muslim myself...but I feel so sorry for them

If he ever stopped to talk to them he would realise that alot of them are normal people like anyone else...that they are equally not impressed by extremists and alot pf them have come here to make an honest living

Funny how another immigrant is trying to make another immigrant unwelcome in a country that aint even his!!!

Im sure he is gonna respond like a deluded parrot...shreiking as if by rote that 900% crime increases have occurred...and call us muslim apologists blah blah blsh...come with something fresh if you actually dare to respond and once again and expose the largesse of your stupidity for everyone else to see

I agree with T Murphy.

In the UK the populace have had their right to bear arms taken away. Now only criminals have weapons and they can be certain their victims do not. Gun crime has spiraled and many inner city areas are "no-go" for the native British population..

Thankfully I now live in France where it is perfectly legal for me to own a variety of guns, some specifically for self defence, and the laws on my right to defend myself, my family and property are clear.

Crime is virtually unknown where I live as criminals know the risks they run.

Sadly I think it is high time that Posts in the local should be moderated. The Nazi brigade has taken over to push their filth and lies. posters like DreEstwd continue to take any subject and turn it into a racist rant, irrespective of the subject. I find it upsetting that I can no longer read anything on the local without being bombarded with the rantings of biased, idiots. come on TL bring in a moderator to stop providing a soap box for these morons

It is very sad to see how those fascists who defend the intolerant, misogynist and violent ideology called Islam denounce any one who dares to criticise its outrageousness as a racist.

If a moderator is needed here perhaps she or who could gently remind halfwits like Rick Methven that you can try to repress and hide the truth but it will come out in the end.

I don't want to demean genuine crimes but people often say bizarre things in surveys for a variety of reasons. It would be more telling if these figures were based on police figures.
