But many victims, fearing reprisals, are keeping silent, social workers say.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, growing numbers of German women in towns and cities across the country are being raped by asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Many of the crimes are being downplayed by German authorities and the national media, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.<\/p>\n<p>On August 18, a coalition of four social work organizations and women&#8217;s rights groups sent a two-page letter to the leaders of the political parties in the regional parliament in Hesse, a state in west-central Germany, warning them of the worsening situation for women and children in the refugee shelters. The letter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soerenkern.com\/pdfs\/docs\/gewalt.pdf\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The ever-increasing influx of refugees has complicated the situation for women and girls at the receiving center in Giessen (HEAE) and its subsidiaries.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The practice of providing accommodations in large tents, the lack of gender-separate sanitary facilities, premises that cannot be locked, the lack of safe havens for women and girls \u2014 to name just a few spatial factors \u2014 increases the vulnerability of women and children within the HEAE. This situation plays into the hands of those men who assign women a subordinate role and treat women traveling alone as &#8216;wild game&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The consequences are numerous rapes and sexual assaults. We are also receiving an increasing number of reports of forced prostitution. It must be stressed: these are not isolated cases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Women report that they, as well as children, have been raped or subjected to sexual assault. As a result, many women sleep in their street clothes. Women regularly report that they do not use the toilet at night because of the danger of rape and robbery on the way to the sanitary facilities. Even during daylight, passing through the camp is a frightful situation for many women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Many women \u2014 in addition to fleeing wars or civil wars \u2014 are also on the run for gender-related reasons, including the threat of forced marriage or genital mutilation. These women who face special risks, especially when they are on the run alone or with their children. Even if they are accompanied by male relatives or acquaintances, this does not always ensure protection against violence because it can also lead to specific dependencies and sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Most female refugees have experienced a variety of traumatizing experiences in their country of origin and while on the run. They are victims of violence, kidnappings, torture, rape and extortion \u2014 sometimes over periods of several years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The feeling to have arrived here \u2014 in safety \u2014 and to be able to move without fear, is a gift for many women&#8230;. We therefore ask you&#8230;to join our call for the immediate establishment of protected premises (locked apartments or houses) for women and children who are travelling alone&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These facilities must be equipped so that men do not have access to the premises of the women, with the exception of emergency workers and security personnel. In addition bedrooms, lounges, kitchens and sanitary facilities must be interconnected so that they form a self-contained unit \u2014 and thus can only be reached via lockable and monitored access to the house or the apartment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After several blogs (<a href=\"http:\/\/einwanderungskritik.de\/asylheim-giessen-vergewaltigungen-von-frauen-und-kindern-an-der-tagesordnung\/\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pi-news.net\/2015\/09\/sexuelle-uebergriffe-in-fluechtlingsunterkuenften\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.de\/maximilian-von-thalen\/fluchtlinge-als-freiwild-sexuelle-ubergriffe-in-asylbewerberheimen_b_8121116.html\">here<\/a>) drew attention to the letter, the <a href=\"http:\/\/lfr-hessen.de\/\">LandesFrauenRat (LFR) Hessen<\/a>, a women&#8217;s lobbying group that originally uploaded the politically incorrect document to its website, abruptly removed it on September 14, without explanation.<\/p>\n<p>The problem of rapes and sexual assaults in German refugee shelters is a nationwide problem.<\/p>\n<p>In Bavaria, women and girls housed at a refugee shelter in <b>Bayernkaserne<\/b>, a former military base in Munich, are subject to rape and forced prostitution on a daily basis, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WWlcbgLWSOc\">according<\/a> to women&#8217;s rights groups.
