Amnesty International: 7,000 women raped in Czech Republic every year

Some 7,000 women in the Czech Republic are victims of rape every year, suggests a study conducted by Focus agency, commissioned by the international human rights watchdog Amnesty International. According to the study, only about 20 percent of the perpetrators are complete strangers to the victims and only two percent of the rapists are punished by courts. The study also suggests that nine out of ten women raped do not report the offence.
