Cologne’s mayor has been widely criticised for suggesting that women “keep at an arm’s length” from strangers to avoid sexual harassment, after scores of women were sexually abused and mugged in the city during new year celebrations.

Asked by a journalist how women could protect themselves, Henriette Reker said: “There’s always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s length – that is to say to make sure yourself you don’t look to be too close to people who are not known to you, and to whom you don’t have a trusting relationship”.

The remarks came at a press conference at which Reker made her first public comments about the incidents on New Year’s Eve. About 90 women made complaints to police, many relating to sexual assault. Many reported having been surrounded by groups of drunk and aggressive men of north African or Arabic appearance who harassed and mugged them. One woman is believed to have been raped.

A police spokesman described the events as “a new dimension in crime”. About 1,000 men were gathered on the square in front of the city’s main station on Thursday night, although only a small number of them are believed to have been involved in the attacks.

Journalists at the press conference said the mayor had reacted with surprise to the initial question and her struggle for an answer demonstrated the extent to which it had caught her off guard.

Reker’s comments triggered outrage on social media. Reaction was trending under #einarmlaenge (an arm’s length).

Christopher Lauer, a politician, tweeted: “Man: “I had intended to mug this woman and molest her, but shit! She’s an arm’s length away from me!”

Alexander Nabert, a journalist, wrote: “This thing about an arm’s length – is it a rule of thumb?”

Another Twitter user, Marie von den Benken, wrote: “Frau Reker, the thing about the one arm’s length sounds more like one brain cell.”

Next month, Cologne will celebrate carnival season, when thousands go on to the streets. The police, who have admitted major errors in the way they managed the new year’s incidents, say they will modify the way they oversee the forthcoming celebrations, including introducing more mobile video cameras.

A series of apparently co-ordinated sexual assaults and thefts in the German city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve has inspired an outpouring of shock and anger.

Politicians scrambled to express their condemnation after it emerged that more than 100 women had complained of harassment and violence at the hands of gangs in the square outside Cologne’s main railway station.

But there has been widespread criticism of the slow response by city authorities, amid accusations of an initial cover-up and controversy over the mayor’s advice to young women following the attacks.

As reports of assaults continue to come in from Cologne and some other German cities, victims and onlookers have been asking how this could happen.

——————————————————————————–

The area is notorious for crime
Residents in Cologne say the the area around Cologne Cathedral is a well-known danger zone when it comes to pickpockets and theft.

The spot, in the centre of the city, attracts thousands of people for the New Year celebrations, and the combination of crowds, alcohol and fireworks has proved problematic for police for a number of years.

Many of the perpetrators on Thursday night reportedly used a well-known tactic to distract their victims by trying to dance with them.

But authorities say the scale and nature of the latest wave of attacks, including allegations of rape and sexual assault, were “unprecedented”.

About 1,000 young men – many of North African or Arab appearance – are believed to have arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.

Officials have urged people not to link the violence to Germany’s influx of refugees.

Police were there but failed to stop attacks
Witnesses said police officers in Cologne appeared to be surprised and overwhelmed by the attacks.

Rainer Wendt, head of the German Police Union, said there were simply not enough officers deployed on the night.

But Cologne police chief Wolfgang Albers has insisted they were well prepared, with 70 federal officers in the station, and about 140 Cologne police officers around the cathedral area and city centre.

Whatever the staffing numbers, however, it is clear officers on duty failed to stop the attacks.

Police made arrests outside the station but failed to link suspects immediately to the sex attacks
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere accused police of waiting for complaints rather than taking preventative action.

Meanwhile Mr Albers was forced to say the initial police assessment – describing a “relaxed atmosphere” in the city on New Year’s Eve – was wrong.

And, almost a week after the incident, no arrests are thought to have been made despite reports of hundreds of men being involved.

Protesters in Cologne wanted answers from the German chancellor
Irmgard Kopetzky from Cologne rape crisis centre told the BBC that more action was needed to provide more security for women.

“It is still being clarified how something like this could happen when the police already had so many personnel there,” she said.

“Going forward it is vital that the police get more staff – something that has long been a requirement – and that attackers are prosecuted and punished.”

Is there a taboo about the perpetrators?
Soon after reports emerged that the men involved were of Arab or North African appearance, anti-immigration campaigners seized on the incident as an example of Germany’s failed asylum policy.

Some suggested Germany’s media had been hesitant to report on the attacks for fear of stirring far-right sentiment, after the arrival of more than a million migrants and refugees in the past year.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere stressed there should not be any general suspicion towards refugees.

“But if North Africans were the perpetrators, for which there is some indication, there should not be a taboo and people should not gloss over it.”

Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker said “people from other cultures” needed to be given “a better explanation” about appropriate behaviour during street celebrations.

However, experts stress that sexual violence is an issue for people of all ethnic origins.

Figures show the majority of people carrying out sex attacks in Germany do not come from an immigrant background. In two-thirds of cases, the perpetrator is known to the victim, Ms Kopetzky says..

Attitudes need to change
Following the Cologne attacks, Mayor Reker has been criticised for urging young women and girls to adopt a code of conduct that meant keeping an “arm’s length” distance from strangers.

Social media mocked the comments online using the hashtag #einearmlaenge, while Justice Minister Heiko Maas wrote on Twitter: “It is not women who bear responsibility, but the perpetrators.”

As well as the incident in Cologne, women were targeted in Hamburg and Stuttgart.

Ms Kopetzky from Cologne rape crisis centre said there was a clear need for a change in attitude and more public awareness of sexual harassment and assault across the country.

“Women’s groups like ours have been doing what we can for many years, but many people only recognise the subject when they are affected personally,” she said.

Meanwhile Barbara Steffens, equality minister in North Rhine-Westphalia, told the BBC there needed to be greater recognition of the issues women faced on a daily basis, and more “social condemnation of male abuse of power”.

“It is still the case that women who have been raped are often not believed, abuses are trivialised, lewd jokes and sexist comments are tolerated, and women are reduced to their bodies.

“We need to work on that, to create a tangible culture of respect.”
