“Where is the society of the women’s redress? “
“She looks down at the paper in front of him, says;n”Where were all the feminists when my Joshah was wiped out piece by piece?”.”

“Where is the society for all the abused women?”
“There was no one who said it – then. “
“Who said ”me too” or ”me too” when Josefin Nilsson stood up in the courtroom to tell you.”
“instead, it was quiet.”
“22 years after the silence, burning candles against a grey wall, lit by a hundred women in the manifestation. Those who were there then are here now.”
“But Josephine does not remain.”
“According to figures from BRÅ, the Crime prevention council, was the fifth person in Sweden at some time in their life been subjected to offences in a close relationship.

A report from the 2015 show, moreover, that between the ages of 16 to 24 years, 18% at some time been subjected to systematic harassment, threats, beatings, or sexual violence by a current or former partner.”

“there are more, that Josephine. There are more stories and cracked walls and broken bodies. There is more that rises up in a courtroom for the first time but not really up to a second. Who are exposed to violence, where the environment looks, but nothing doing. “
