LONDON: Organisers of Germany?s biggest New Year´s Eve party at Berlin?s Brandenburg Gate are setting up a special safety zone for women who have been assaulted or feel threatened.The move comes two years after hundreds of women were groped, sexually molested and robbed by gangs of men during New Year´s Eve festivities in Cologne. Hundreds of thousands of revellers are expected to flock to Berlin´s ?party mile? on Sunday in front of the Brandenburg Gate in the heart of the city. The annual open air event with fireworks, live bands and DJs, continues into the early hours of the morning. Berlin police confirmed that this year women would be able to seek help in an area staffed by the German Red Cross. ?The organisers have set up a safety zone for women who have been victims of a sexual offense or are feeling harassed,? a police statement said.
