Recent data reveals that the United Kingdom has surpassed Sweden as the country with the highest reported rape rates in Europe, with 69,184 cases reported in the year ending June 2024, equating to 114 reported rapes per 100,000 people. Sweden reported 10,167 rapes in 2024, corresponding to 96 per 100,000 people, marking it as the third highest globally. Poland, by contrast, reported approximately 560 cases, or 1.5 per 100,000 people, indicating a much lower incidence rate. Over the past 50 years, Sweden has experienced a more than 2,300% increase in reported rapes, rising from 421 cases in 1975 to over 10,000 in 2024. Additional concerns in Sweden include nearly 60 no-go zones with gang-related crime, approximately 68,000 women affected by female genital mutilation, and close to 100 bombing attacks reported in 2025. The rise in reported rapes in the UK has been linked to demographic changes following policies initiated in the early 2000s. Comparatively, countries such as Japan and the United Arab Emirates report significantly lower rape rates, with figures near zero. These statistics highlight a stark contrast in reported sexual violence across European countries and raise questions about underlying social and policy factors contributing to these trends.
