 🚨🌍Britain isn’t alone in staring down the brutal consequences of a broken asylum and justice system. The Netherlands is reeling after 17-year-old Lisa was stabbed to death while desperately trying to call the police—her final act, reaching for help. The accused? A 22-year-old asylum seeker, already suspected of raping one woman just days earlier and assaulting another. Three alleged victims in under a week. Three red flags ignored until it ended with a body in a ditch.

💔 From Policy Failure to Femicide

This isn’t just about one country, one system, or one case. It’s about a continent sleepwalking into disaster while repeating the same hollow reassurances: “We’re monitoring the situation,” “lessons will be learned,” “unprecedented strain.” Meanwhile, women and girls are left to walk home in fear, carrying keys like weapons in their fists.

In Rotterdam, 500 people marched against femicide, demanding safety. But here’s the ugly truth: when systems designed to protect the vulnerable instead shelter predators, every protest feels like shouting into a void. Europe has created an asylum process that moves fast enough to house, but not to vet. To fund, but not to protect. And Lisa’s death isn’t just tragedy—it’s indictment. 🚨✖️

The Netherlands joins the UK, Germany, Sweden, France—all grappling with the same pattern: when warning signs are ignored, when political cowardice trumps safety, it is ordinary women and girls who pay the ultimate price.
