"Dirk Peglow stated, 'Better not get into a relationship with a man.' He emphasized that the risk of becoming a victim of psychological or physical violence is much higher in such relationships."
"Peglow noted that in 2024, 'statistically at least two women per day were victims of homicide or attempted homicide,' reflecting the alarming rise in violence against women."
"'My statement was obviously an exaggeration. It was not meant as advice to be taken literally,' Peglow clarified, acknowledging the overwhelming majority of men are not violent."
"Dunja Hayali reported receiving threats, stating, 'Now there are men who do not criticize the rise in violence against women but instead express violent fantasies and threats of violence against my interview partner and me.'"
Dirk Peglow, head of the Federal Association of German Detectives, suggested women should avoid relationships with men due to rising violence statistics. He cited an 8.5% increase in serious sexual offenses, stating that two women daily are victims of homicide or attempted homicide. Following backlash, Peglow clarified his comment was an exaggeration and not literal advice. Both Peglow and ZDF host Dunja Hayali received threats after the interview, highlighting the intense reactions to the discussion on violence against women in Germany.
