Amnesty International said in one of two reports released Monday to mark Women's Day that the Nordic countries, often hailed as beacons of sexual equality, had failed to tackle sexual violence, with the Finnish government leaving women particularly vulnerable.

The human rights group said in the report that while Denmark, Norway and Sweden had adopted national action plans to address violence against women Finland had not.

"In Finland, the authorities still struggle to recognize gender-based violence against women as an issue for which the state bears responsibility," Amnesty added. Source: Helsinki Times
