In Russia, rape is a crime that carries a penalty of three to six years in most cases, but it is difficult to pursue and get a conviction. According to statistics from the Crisis Center for Women in St. Petersburg, up to 70% of women who have been raped go to the police, but only 10% of the accusations result in charges. As a result, it is estimated that only 1% of men who commit these acts receive criminal punishment.

    91? Does that mean that only 9% of married men are non-violent?

      No, it doesn’t necessarily. Several women can be the victim of one man. Of course that doesn’t change that it’s probably a very low number.
