Surveys: Sexual harassment and rape crisis deteriorate in Britain

Supporting women's rights has always been one of the most supercilious condescension with which the western world regards the rest of the world. This issue took on wider dimensions, particularly following WWII.

The west claims that its purported respect for women’s rights germinates from its secular judicial system. Contrary to their empty claims, the terrible statistics of violations of women’s rights in the West are incessantly rising, with the UK having one of the most abhorrent records in Europe. Despite vehement and consistent condemnations of violence against women, as well as the increasing rise of femicide in the United Kingdom, the tragedy continues to claim new victims.

According to statistics from the UK charity and non-profit sector, sexual misconduct and physical assault have surged by 40% in the past several months. In addition, according to research conducted by women’s rights campaigners, at least 140 women were murdered in the UK in 2021. At the same time, the total number of rapes committed in England by the end of September 2021 grew by 12% compared to the same period the previous year, according to the UK’s “Office for National Statistics.”

Rape and violence against women reached an all-time high of 170,973 instances over the last two years. Many British women who have been victims of violence and rape argue that the British legal system has abandoned them. Furthermore, inquiries divulge severe challenges in the administration of these victims’ complaints. Official data show that victims of assault and rape in the UK demonstrated a systemic breakdown in the country’s justice system, as the average period between a crime being reported to the police and the commencement of a trial is 706 days.

A substantial part of British working women are subjected to sexual harassment

A survey by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) revealed that more than half of British women had suffered sexual harassment in the workplace, demonstrating the dreadful condition of women’s susceptibility in British society. According to the TUC study, Two-thirds of respondents who were young women between the ages of 18 and 24 have been vulnerable to sexual harassment in factories and companies.

A recent survey by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) revealed that more than half of British women had suffered pervasive sexual harassment in the workplace, demonstrating the dreadful condition of women’s insecurity in British society. According to the TUC study, young women in the range of 18 to 24 are most susceptible to sexual harassment, with two-thirds of respondents claiming to have encountered it.

According to the TUC and the “Everyday Sexism Project,” British women are routinely subjected to sexual harassment and insulting jokes at workplaces. According to the survey, 80% of these women do not inform their employer about the harassment they are exposed to for fear of jeopardising their employment. According to the research, almost one in every five women has been sexually harassed by their immediate supervisors, and they fear that if they report the incident, no one would take them seriously.

Muslim women and Islamophobia

British Muslim women face both religious and gender prejudice, resulting in a plethora of concerns in the workplace, whether online or in society. According to the findings of a research study, Muslim women experience greater impediments, including enormous salary disparities. Furthermore, Muslim women with university degrees are less likely to be recruited for positions that are academically similar to those held by non-Muslim women. Likewise, Muslim women’s job applications are less likely to be accepted than those of other women adhering to other religions.
