United Kingdom
Today there is an undeclared war against women in this country. (...) Each year some three million women face will experience violence in one form or another. (...) On average two women die each week at the hands of a partner or an ex-partner. 80 000 women experience rape or attempted rape. An estimated 1.2 million women experienced stalking in 2003. 4000 trafficked women are in enforced prostitution, locked in dingy flats, drugged, threatened and effectively enslaved. And we should make no mistake about this. These are crimes against women. There are male victims yes, but the truth is that this war is against women because they are women. The figures speak for themselves. In fact they scream. (Trevor Phillips, 2007)
