Abstract
From womb to tomb, girls and women are exposed to male violence in every neighbourhood, everywhere. It is a global ‘pandemic’ as male physical aggression is the largest category of societal violence.
A rogue British policeman was recently sentenced to life imprisonment for the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. When a specialist commented on how society justified and excused violence against women, her interviewer likened it to “swimming in a soup of male violence”. It is more accurate that women are drowning in a soup of male violence.
