Shocking decision: Case for sexual abuse in Vienna!

A shocking story reaches us from Vienna: a 17-year-old Viennese, Jenny (name changed), reports of a traumatic incident that occurred in August 2024 during a party. After an argument with her mother, she left her parents' house and met with a girl and four young men. Unknown for Jenny, the evening ended in a nightmare. She consumed multivitamin juice, but rejected Vodka. A few minutes later she became sleepy and lost consciousness. The men present are said to have used this and sexually misused Jenny, as she said in an interview. Evidence videos document the incident, but show that the men laugh while Jenny hardly reacts. After entrusting herself to her mother days later, the complaint was immediately filed.

like Today. Sufficient evidence was missing to underpin suspicion of rape. Jenny's mother is stunned: "How can it be that some of the men have not even been questioned because they have been in Serbia since the crime?" The incident has triggered a wave of outrage and Jenny now hopes that the procedure will be picked up again to achieve justice for her daughter.

In the middle of this dramatic story, I recognize parallels to previous social discourses on gender roles, which are also treated in the NZZ . There it is emphasized that biological differences between men and women should not be ignored. Women are more resistant and are biologically able to develop a strong immune system. These findings could not only play a role in the discussion about the ideals of equality, but also to look at family structures and their challenges that Jenny and her mother have to go through. The role of father in education also remains an important aspect to promote healthy family ties and to convey a feeling of security to the children.
