The US is literally worse than the entire EU despite having fewer inhabitants lmao

https://www.statista.com/statistics/191137/reported-forcible-rape-cases-in-the-usa-since-1990/

In 2024, there were 127,527 reported rape cases in the United States

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1072770/number-of-rapes-in-europe/

France: 42,000

Germany: 13,000

Sweden: 9000

Spain: 4500

Rest combined: <30,000 (roughly estimated by me)

Edit: The statistic does not include all EU nations. Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands are the largest one's missing from what I can see.

The EU has 100,000,000 more inhabitants by the way.

Also most rapes are domestic. That's also the primary reason for the lack of reports - people do not want their marriage to end, their families/friends to turn their backs etc. What use is a gun here?
