Default Germany: Young Socialists call for male ban at this year’s Easter folk festivals

Germany: Young Socialists call for male ban at this year’s Easter folk festivals

10 march 2023

The youth wing of Germany’s governing SPD party in the city of Bremen has called for male-free days at upcoming Easter festival events due to an increasing number of sexual assaults on women taking place in the region.

The Young Socialists (Jusos) want some days to be women-only at the large local fairs of Osterwiese and Freimarkt so female attendees can enjoy themselves without the threat of sexual assault.

Last year, the number of sexual assaults in the region rose to a record high, according to crime statistics published on Thursday. The liberal coalition state government does not distinguish between German and foreign nationals; however, there have been multiple reports at these events in recent years of women suffering harassment by migrants.
