In order to avoid being affected by the new wave of sexual abuse outweighs Culture Festival in Gothenburg now to set up special zones secure the women in front of the scenes. Mayor Ann Sofie Hermansson (S) is critical of the proposal.

The organizers behind the Culture Festival in Gothenburg, which starts this weekend, have discussed the possibility of introducing the women's zones in front of the scenes in order to prevent sexual violence.
- At present it is our last resort and it's something we do not like, but we must do something because it is not acceptable that even a person subjected to abuse on our festival, says Tasso Stafilidis, which is accountable to SVT News West .
In the festival's action plan also includes training volunteers to detect and stop the sexual molestation.
