World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported51m ago
Organizers at the Munich Oktoberfest are providing women with free shorts in response to widespread upskirting incidents at the festival. The intervention targets the Teufelsrad, a traditional carnival ride, where women wearing traditional dirndl dresses have been filmed without their consent.
Thousands of voyeuristic videos capturing women's underwear exposed on the ride have been circulated on social media platforms, with at least 32,000 such videos documented by the Munich daily Süddeutsche Zeitung. Some of this digital footage has garnered millions of views.
