The latest global numbers just dropped and they’re brutal. The UK is sitting at a staggering **117 reported rapes per 100,000 people** — number one on the planet. Sweden’s right behind at 84.4, France at 62.7, New Zealand 58.6. Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is at ~0.1, Pakistan 2.4, Japan 2.2, Indonesia ~0.5. The gap is insane. But before you lose your mind, the data comes with a massive, screaming warning label.
