Press release of Amnesty International Czech Republic and the Czech Women’s Lobby

She was wearing a miniskirt? Then she was asking to be raped, is the opinion of one third of Czechs.

A survey carried out by the agency Focus for Amnesty International has revealed that Czechs have absolutely no idea on how often rapes occur or who is the most common perpetrator. Moreover, many of them are confident that the woman is to blame – for instance when she wears provocative clothing, flirts or is intoxicated. 

The press release can be found below, in Czech only.
