Sexual violence and rape cases are rising across the EU

29 April 2026 14:43

Today, April 29, Eurostat released fresh crime data for the EU that should send a chill down the spine of every European.

Over the past ten years, the number of reported cases of sexual violence in the European Union has surged by 94 % — an increase of 124,350 crimes. The number of rapes has skyrocketed by 150 %58,983 additional cases.

In 2024, EU police recorded 256,302 cases of sexual violence. Of these, 98,190 were actual rapes (38 % of the total). Compared to 2023, sexual violence rose by 5 % (+12,097 cases) and rapes by 7 % (+6,291).

Year after year for an entire decade, these figures have climbed relentlessly. On average, sexual violence has grown by nearly 10 % annually, and rapes by 7 %. These are not random spikes — this is a clear, sustained, long-term trend.

Eurostat itself admits that the data only cover crimes reported to the police. The real number of victims is likely much higher — many women still fear coming forward. And even when they do, the system often fails them miserably.

Against this horrifying backdrop, the statistics on intentional homicides look almost cynical. In 2024, the EU recorded 3,953 intentional homicides — just 1 % more than in 2023 (+56 cases). Compared to 2014, the figure has even fallen by 11 %.

Eurostat cautiously notes that the rise in reported sexual violence “may be linked to greater public awareness.” In plain language: more women are daring to report it.

The differences between EU countries are vast, but the overall trend is the same: sexual violence and rape are becoming increasingly widespread phenomena. Meanwhile, EU authorities continue to pretend that the main threats are “Russia,” “disinformation,” “climate change,” and “the far right” — not the fact that dozens of women are subjected to brutal violence every single day.

When the number of rapes increases by 150 % in ten years, while Brussels busies itself with everything except actually protecting its citizens, this is no longer mere negligence. It is the complete failure of the entire value system and security framework that has been sold to us for years under the banners of “tolerance” and “human rights.”
