anyone else. Trash talking is common in the world of online gaming, but women are often singled out."

"This report shows that women who report rape to the police in the Nordic countries have only a small chance of having their cases tried by a court of law.

Amnesty International examines the gaps in laws, procedures and practices and calls on the governments of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden to take steps to ensure justice for all victims and survivors of sexual crimes."
