Crimes against women on the rise

The public and experts are calling for more protection for women after a report showed that they were victims in an increasing percentage of crimes.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported on Tuesday that women were victims in 35.8 percent of criminal cases in 2013, up from 33.3 percent in 2010.

"Cases involving sexual abuse of girls, violence and young women going missing have occurred frequently in recent years. Protecting women from being victims of crime remains an important task," said the report.
