These anti-rape tattoos are being handed out at a swimming pool in Germany.

The temporary stamps, which have ‘No!’ written on them surrounded by angel wings, are being distributed as part of a prevention strategy in Bodenseekreis, Baden-Wurttemberg.

Veronika Wascher-Goggerle, the Women’s and Family representative of the district, is responsible for the campaign and hopes the tattoos will raise awareness over the growing issue of sex attacks in swimming pools.

‘I think many girls are insecure. What is normal in daily interactions and what should not be allowed and needs to be reported?,’ she told German newspaper Die Welt.



‘The temporary tattoos are an incentive for young swimmers to think about the issue.’

There has been increased anxiety recently over alleged sex attacks by migrants but Wascher-Goggerle said the problem was more general.

She added sexual abuse in swimming pools had always happened.

There are numerous outdoor and indoor swimming pools in the Bodensee district which spans the shores of the famous Lake Constance.
