- European women are adapting to increased risk by avoiding certain streets, parks, and neighborhoods.
- These coping mechanisms mirror those long used by immigrant women in similar situations.

- Immigrant women remain the largest victims of sexual violence and related crimes.
- However, the scale of male immigration has caused these issues to spill over and affect European women as well.
