PRESS STATEMENT
NOVEMBER 25, 2020
Around the world, violence against women harms not only millions of women and girls every year, but also their communities and families. Violence against women, whether in the workforce, the home, a school environment, or as a result of conflict or crisis, is never acceptable. The United States recognizes the inherent dignity that every woman and girl possesses and is committed to preventing and responding to violence against women.
Every woman and girl deserves to live a life free from violence. Eliminating violence against women removes significant barriers to women’s empowerment, enabling them to become trailblazers, innovators, and leaders in their communities. These efforts require the dedication of governments, the private sector, and civil society to create an enduring impact.

Denmark: Reform recognizes sex without consent as rape
Sex without consent is rape but the principle is lacking in many legal frameworks in countries across Europe. Denmark is seeking to change this, with parliament approving a reform that gives new power to the word no.
Of the 80,000 rapes that were reported to EU police in 2015, around nine out of 10 victims were women and girls.
It was the middle of the night when Kirstine Holst was awoken by a man coming into her room. He tried to have sex with her even though she repeatedly asked him to stop. I didn t know what was happening. We have never had any romantic interaction and he wasn t accepting that I said no to him. And then he put his arm around my throat, and I realized my life was in danger, she tells DW.
