Victim blaming is not a side issue but a built in reflex, with WHO reporting that cultural norms enabling blame for sexual violence appear across 80% of 161 countries. Even when crime reporting is supposed to be straightforward, other data shows reporting can drop sharply, including a link to 45% lower reporting rates in Latin America. Together, these figures raise a hard question about what gets treated as evidence and what gets treated as blame.
