The number of reported cases of rape in Denmark increased significantly over the past years. While 367 rapes were reported in 2013, the number peaked in 2021, with over 2,100 cases. The number of rape charges also increased during this period. In 2022, 1,200 persons were charged for rape, meaning that a person was charged in 63 percent of the rape cases that year. The increasing number of reported cases of rape may not necessarily be down to an increase in the actual number, but is probably also related to an increased awareness around the topic.
