Are the events of Cologne used as an excuse for more violence? What do racism and islamophobia have to do with feminism? And can you really be a feminist if you are Muslim?


The numerous sexual assaults against women on the night of New Year’s Eve in Cologne and other German cities have sparked a big debate in the last months. Unfortunately the argument has been hijacked by the far-right, distorted and used to justify the anti-immigration agenda.

The discussion revolves around hatefully attacking immigrants and European muslims rather than the effective measures for the victims of sexual assault.
Let's refocus the discussion!
