Sexual Assault on Women: Immigrants & Citizens
The apologists in these situations are dangerous for women.
Pretending the culture is not to blame, nor acknowledging that this will be a big ongoing problem, will not make these acts of violence vanish -- it only further minimizes the victims. There's fear of racism and then there is stupidity. Or there should be. Personally though, I have no idea how we are going to convince these men of their erroneous attitudes.

Rape and child abuse 'are rife in German refugee camps': Unsegregated conditions blamed as women are 'seen as fair game' in overcrowded migrant centres
Excerpts:
"The warnings came after German Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier this month announced there was ‘no limit’ to the numbers of migrants her country would take. Germany is expected to receive up to one million migrants this year and has since imposed temporary border controls. But some cities have been struggling to cope with the influx, reporting intolerable pressures on housing and too few staff to process asylum claims."
"Women were often too afraid to walk around the camp even during the day, volunteers claimed, while some victims are too terrified to report sexual assaults by the men. A police spokesman said there were ‘probably’ many unreported sexual abuses.
Giessen City Councillor Astrid Eibelshaeuser said: ‘We know there is rape happening.’
Johannes-Wilhelm Roerig, the federal commissioner for child sexual abuse issues, said: ‘I am most concerned that refugee children in camps, gymnasiums, or former barracks are not sufficiently protected from sexual assault.’"
Germany shocked by Cologne New Year gang assaults on women
Excerpts:
"What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organized. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women"
"And there are real concerns about what will happen in February when the drunken street-parties of carnival season kick off."
"A policeman who was outside Cologne station during the New Year's Eve trouble told the city's Express news website that he had detained eight suspects. "They were all asylum seekers, carrying copies of their residence certificates," he said.

Germany shaken after group of 1,000 men accused of assaulting 90 women during new year celebration
Excerpts:
"This is not about where someone is from but what they did. Making an issue out of it, lumping it together with the refugee issue, is nothing but exploitation," he said.
"On Tuesday evening, 200-300 people gathered in front of Cologne's cathedral to protest against violence against women.
One of them held a sign saying: "Ms Merkel, where are you? What do you say? This scares us!"

Will the next world riots be by women?
Is it time for suffragettes to return?
Or will they continue to take a back seat in immigrant & #BlackLivesMatter movements?
