Swedish experts dispute government claim on rape care standards

Six Swedish experts argue in Dagens Nyheter that the government's investigation falsely claims compliance with EU requirements for post-rape emergency care, citing widespread underreporting and inadequate reception.

This matters as it challenges the credibility of Sweden's compliance reporting and highlights a potential gap between policy and practice in sexual violence response.
