Response to the increasing digital violence against women and girls

Although they make up more than half of the world’s population, women and girls around the world are still at risk of being killed and exposed to violence, intimidation and harassment just because they are women. Violence against women and girls is the result of intersectional forms of social, political, economic, racial and cultural discrimination they are exposed to on a daily basis.

Have we allowed the perpetrators to win and why is the public inclined to judge the victims?

It would have been better if it had never happened, if she had not accused him and he did not do it; it would be better if rape never happened and there were no victims. If Milena Radulović and other girls had no reason to accuse Miroslav Aleksić, and Danijela Štajnfeld - Branislav Lečić. It is terrible and difficult to accept when we wish these horrific things never happened at all. But they happened, and they are talked about now because they happen to many women.
