UNITED STATES
Pravda

U.S. , A country that claims to defend human rights and even criticizes others in this regard, not only has failed to control violence, but it has spread and deepened, both in society and in the U.S. Army, which contradicts international principles and rules.
The first article of the declaration on ending violence against women defines the following:
“For the purposes of this Declaration, the term ‘violence against women’ means any act of violence based on gender, or is likely to result in harm, physical, sexual or suffering to women, including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life.”
The issue of sexual assault in the U.S. keeps repeating. A new report has revealed an increase of about 35% of sexual assault cases in the military. The U.S. Defense Department reported that last year there were 26,000 cases of sexual crimes in the United States Armed Forces. Report data accounts for almost 70 attacks a day, and also notes that one in five female soldiers in the U.S. has been the victim of unwanted sexual contact by their colleagues. …
The acts and perverse behavior are being developed in a remarkable way in the U.S., among them we can mention the sex scandals in Catholic churches in the country and the legalization of gay marriage in several states. The root of the scandals that emerged in the Catholic Church is in the prohibition of marriage of priests, which has involved even the bishops themselves in various child abuse scandals and pedophilia.
