After the large-scale influx of migrants a trend began to emerge in a lot of European countries:

Stories of European women being attacked or sexually assaulted by migrant men.

The first major incidents happened in Germany and Sweden, where group tactics were used by migrants to rob, assault or rape women (this same tactic of mobs preying on women was seen in Egypt’s Tahrir square). This rapidly evolved to an unprecedented scale of sexual assaults Europe had not seen in centuries.

Cologne, New Year’s eve 2015/2016: The night started by looking like a normal German New Year’s Eve celebration; like many cities throughout Europe squares were filling up with decent, law-abiding revellers.

But toward midnight large groups of migrant men began entering the square; they took the partying German women completely by surprise. At the square, under the spires of Cologne’s Cathedral, at least 1000 women were (sexually) assaulted by groups of migrants of North African or Middle Eastern descent.

The reaction of the media, which professes to care about women’s rights and well-being, was censorship and burying the news. This is the same reaction most Western media has in the face of migrant crime waves: Witnesses were silenced or ignored and the media didn’t take its responsibility to report the truth seriously.

It took a long time before the world was informed and word got out.

The exact same thing unsurprisingly happened in Sweden, a country that was once a feminist’s paradise, where women enjoyed unprecedented liberty and hyper-equality, now known for its sex crimes and gang rapes. Dozens of women and girls were sexually assaulted at numerous rock concerts by migrant men. Some girls were only 12 years old.

But It was not only at big events where these depraved crimes took place. Several murders, rapes and sexual assaults were also occurred on the streets of Europe and at other public spaces. It was (and still is) a tragedy of sexual acts against women that has not been seen for a long time in Europe. Were these acts committed under any other circumstances they would have been classed as either war crimes or crimes against humanity.

This is not hyperbole or exaggeration, here are just a few examples:

In Austria: A 72-year-old grandmother was raped by an Afghan minor; as a result she lost the will to live
In Belgium: A young girl was drugged and raped by a migrant after she asked the way to the station
In France: Two teens were stabbed to death by a migrant in Marseille
In Germany: A 19-year-old student was raped and murdered by an Afghan migrant
In Germany: A 17-year-old girl was stabbed to death after quitting her relationship with a migrant
In Italy: A Polish woman was gang raped by four migrants in Rimini
In the Netherlands: A young girl was raped and almost drowned by an asylum seeker in Kampen
In the Netherlands: A woman was gang raped by a group of Africans
In Sweden: A girl was stabbed to death after rejecting an asylum seeker
In Sweden: A woman in a wheelchair was gang raped by a group of migrants
In Switzerland: Six women were sexually assaulted by “dark skinned” men

In the UK: Muslim Grooming gangs targeting white girls have been around for decades

As the migrant sexual attacks were profligate, some sites even made maps and databases focusing on it. One such site, called “gangrapesweden” was banned by the Swedish government after it inadvertently revealed that a lot of the sex attacks were committed by migrant men in the country.

The results of the attacks on our women have been devastating: We’ve heard stories about families who were destroyed, women who committed suicide and about women who lost the will to live. The act of rape or unwanted sexual attention diminishes a woman and in a way a man cannot comprehend destroys their dignity.

But apart from how it changed the victims, the attacks on women also changed whole streets, neighbourhoods and cities. In many ways it looked like Europe had been set back 100 years.

In Sweden, again, women were warned not to go out alone, in Germany there was a separate “safe space” exclusively for women. Also in Germany, fewer women were seen on the streets during this year’s New Year’s Eve. A German model that we recently interviewed said: Like most of Germany’s women, I’m scared to walk the streets.

It is clear that the real victims of the migrant crisis are Europe’s women: They are quickly losing the freedom they fought for and are clear targets for guests who have been accepted into our societies because we felt they had an urgent, great need for asylum from their war torn or poverty stricken countries of origin.

We failed to take into account that the societies from whence these migrants came are hugely chauvinistic and women are seen as little more than, at best, property and at worse bargaining chips. Of course, sexual minorities suffer too, but that is an exhaustive article for another day.
