Women's groups across Europe are speaking out against violence, citing the need for action to address the issue. However, a group of investigative reporters has found that most cases of violence against women are not committed by migrants. In fact, the reporters claim that when discussing sexual violence, the conversation often centers around migrant men, a tactic reminiscent of far-right strategies.
This approach is characterized by the far right as a means of deflecting attention from the violence perpetrated by men within their own communities. By framing the issue as one of imported or migrant violence, the far right seeks to shift the focus away from their own culpability and onto a perceived external threat. This narrative is often used to justify discriminatory policies and rhetoric aimed at migrants and minority groups.
Despite the efforts of women's groups to raise awareness about the issue, the far right's tactics continue to gain traction. As a result, more and more women are being hurt, and the true causes of violence against women remain unaddressed.
