The surge in serious sexual crimes in Germany since the onset of the asylum crisis in 2015 has raised alarming concerns, with approximately 1,000 German women now reported to be victims of rape each year by asylum seekers, according to figures from the country’s family ministry. The uncontrolled influx of young men from the third world during the asylum chaos has resulted in an influx of sex offenders into Germany, creating a complex challenge for law enforcement.
From 2015 to 2022, over 8,590 cases of reported rape and sexual coercion by immigrants have been documented, marking the highest number since the aftermath of World War II. Notably, the German Federal Criminal Police (BKA) uses the term “immigrant” specifically for those who arrived through the asylum system. However, despite being a relatively small group, close to 1,000 women fall victim to rape annually within this demographic.
Migration researcher Ruud Koopmans, in an article for NZZ, highlights the risks associated with a “generous” European asylum policy. Koopmans emphasizes the urgent need for reforms to address the perilous journeys across the Mediterranean and Sahara, where deaths are unfortunately routine.
Furthermore, Koopmans sheds light on the disproportionate impact on local populations in receiving countries, particularly women, who constitute over 90 percent of victims of immigrants’ sexual violence. Notably, nearly 70 percent of asylum migrants are men, creating a stark gender imbalance.
The crime statistics reveal significant differences among countries of origin, with Syrians, predominantly Arabs, being implicated in sexual crimes at three times the rate of the average immigrant. Men from Afghanistan and Pakistan also show overrepresentation in crime statistics, especially concerning sexual offenses.
Christoph de Vries, a member of the Bundestag for the CDU, acknowledges the heightened risk for women becoming victims of sexual crimes in Germany due to the influx of asylum seekers from the Arab world. De Vries calls for a permanent reduction in asylum seekers in Germany and consistent deportation of criminals, emphasizing the prioritization of women’s protection over sexual predators.
Protests from the police force add to the growing concerns, with Manuel Ostermann, the vice-chairman of the police union, advocating for deportation in cases of rape, even if the convict claims protection reasons, stating that “anyone who commits a crime against sexual self-determination should not have the right to stay in Germany.” Ostermann underscores the collective loss of freedom in Germany, particularly for women, who often avoid public places due to an increased risk of violence. The situation calls for a comprehensive reevaluation of policies to safeguard public safety and address the specific challenges posed by sexual crimes committed by immigrants.
