Survey Finds One in Three Young Women in Netherlands Feel Unsafe in Public

A survey reported by The European Conservative found that one in three young women in the Netherlands regularly feel unsafe in public. The same survey reported that 91 percent of those women change their behavior, including taking different routes, sharing their location, or adjusting clothing. When asked if they have ever felt unsafe on the streets, four in five women aged 18 to 34 answered yes.

Earlier research conducted in Amsterdam found that 85 percent of women avoid certain parts of the city at night. The European Conservative presented the findings as part of a broader observation that safety conditions for women in Europe have declined.
