1 in 7 think “women should be hit for wearing sexy clothing” — New British findings

A new British survey commissioned by the government has found that 1 in 7 people believe it’s OK for a woman to be slapped or hit by her partner for wearing sexy clothing or for “moaning at him too much”.
The statistics on rape are even more shocking, with a almost 50% of people believing that in some cases a woman is to blame for being raped, and can be found along with the violence against women statisticshere.
Although these findings don’t exactly shock me, I can’t help but be horrified by the general level of ignorance and attitude towards violence against women. And although they are British governmental findings, I’ve posted them as I think they apply, to an extent, to worldwide attitudes towards violence against women.
