Today’s “Word of the Day” is “impunity” and it is a noun meaning “exemption from punishment, freedom from punishment, immunity, indemnity, non-liability”.
Example Sentence: The collapse in rape prosecutions has created a climate of impunity. Women are right to be furious… The (UK) government’s frank admission of failure is praiseworthy. But promises to turn over a new leaf are never enough. Abused women and the organisations that work with them know this better than most.
