Thank you.
As my colleague pointed out, there is the issue of numbers. We estimate that, for every rape reported, five or six are not. If 40 rapes a day are reported, that means there are 200.
In addition, with respect to the northern European and western countries, we have to be aware that the figures you cite concern sexual assaults, that is to say a spectrum of acts ranging from rape, the most serious act, to highly offensive and humiliating acts that are not of the same degree of severity, such as sexual harassment, inappropriate comments, etc.
In countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there is no notion of sexual harassment. For cultural reasons, it is an act that absolutely no one would consider denouncing or reporting because relations between men and women are essentially based on inequality and discrimination against women, and on the subordination of women to the pleasure and will of men. Consequently, when the women of the Democratic Republic of the Congo talk about sexual violence, these are extremely serious acts. I don't think your figures are entirely comparable.
