0:00Sounds ridiculous,
0:00but this is a fact that few people expect.
0:02Sweden
0:02It's been called a country with a high rate of sexual assault.
0:04top of the world
0:05It's even higher than India and the Napi.
0:08It's not one of the happiest countries in the world.
0:10SAO precision
0:11But the problem is that if you just look at the data,
0:13It's easy to get Sweden wrong.
0:14in many countries
0:15Victims of abuse are often afraid to report for fear of being judged.
0:18Fear of shame or not being protected
0:20In Sweden,
0:20the opposite is true.
0:21legal and support systems.
0:22The victims here are very strict.
0:24There are 24 support lines in 7 hospitals.
0:26There is a separate reception center for victims of abuse.
0:28and people are encouraged to denounce instead of silence
0:30More important
0:31The Legal Definition of Infringement
0:32Sex in Sweden is wider than in many other countries.
0:35as long as the other party doesn't show clear consent
0:37The case could have been considered sexual assault.
0:39even if there's no obvious violence or resistance.
0:41In addition,
0:42their statistics are different.
0:43If a victim is repeatedly assaulted
0:45Sweden will count each time as a separate case
0:47For example,
0:48the same person was attacked.
0:4810 times they'll record 10 cases.
0:50while many other places just count as one case
0:52that makes the numbers in Sweden very,
0:54very high.
0:54But on the other hand,
0:55it also shows one thing.
0:56they choose to record in full instead of hiding.
0:58so sometimes
0:59A country with bad data is not necessarily more dangerous.
1:02that there is
1:02They may simply be more willing to look directly at the problem than others.
