Cologne's mayor Henriette Reker sparked outrage by suggesting women shoulod prevent sex attacks by keeping men at an 'arm's length'
Failing to calm the fears of women in Cologne, Reker said: 'It is always possible to keep a certain distance that is longer than an arm's length,'need to be 'better prepared' for such incidents.
Speaking on live TV, she said women should be 'more protected in the future so these things don't happen again', Breitbart reported.
'This means they should go out and have fun, but they need to be better prepared.'
Reker said new guidelines would be published online containing 'the basics', like 'for example that women should keep a good distance from strangers and also stay away from large groups of men'.
The mayor was mocked on Twitter under the hashtage #eineArmlange.
