So femicide is a real problem here. Every other week a woman gets murdered in Belgium, in most cases by a partner or someone close to them. Most of the time for patriarchal reasons.
What’s funny to me is that right wingers shout a lot about revenge killing in Muslim communities but remains silent about the dozens of women killed every year by Belgian men.
As I was making the comment above a dude set his wife on fire while being on parole because prisons are too full here
More prisons beget more crime, tbh.
The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don’t and are left out sight and out of mind.
I never thought an european country had that problem. TIL
Well I feel like it gets swept under the rug because of Western supremacy views. Just ‘incidents’ rather than a structural societal problem.
