Source credibility ??[edit]

The source for the statement "Belgium is one of the countries with the highest rate of rape." [[ http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/belgium-sexual-harassment-punished-imprisonment-under-new-law-1440582 ] has limited credibility. The exact statement is not sourced in the article. No matter if rape is or is not a specific Belgium issue, I am reducing the visibilty of this initial comment. (actually, the real question is: is it because rape is reported more in Belgium than in other countries where people - women or police - just don't report it ? but I won' go into that. --Farialima (talk) 00:20, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
