Those in power do not care enough about women and girls to ensure they are protected and have access to justice.
Too true, I personally would like to see much more severe punishments for crimes of sexual violence, I think that would go some way to reducing the prevalence of such crimes. At the moment there is no deterrent.
And whilst I agree that sexual violence is perpetrated by all types of men from all walks of life, the Cologne attacks were unprecedented in Europe in so much that they appeared to be coordinated and each victim was surrounded by countless men, isolating them to the point no-one could see what was going on. Yes gang assault/rape happens in the UK, the difference is that in the majority of those cases the perpetrators are known to the victim, as is the case with most rapes. Women being attacked on the street going about their daily business is, thankfully, quite rare, for now.
In my younger days I certainly experienced groping in nightclubs by the odd twat, but they were easily dealt with. I wouldn't fancy my chances against 10, 20 or 50 men though.
