The ‘Klaasohm’ festival on Borkum Island, known for its violent practices against women, is under scrutiny following a critical report. In response to widespread outrage, organizers announced a zero-tolerance policy towards violence. The festival, scheduled for December 5, features costumed men striking women with cow horns. Local officials, however, claim the report misrepresents the tradition, stating that violent acts have significantly declined over the years. Authorities encourage victims of past violence during the event to come forward without fear.
