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
The rich or more wealthy get parole while the dirt-poor don’t and are left out sight and out of mind.
More prisons beget more crime, tbh.
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.
