Sweden Seeks Volunteers To Be Raped, Make Refugees Feel Welcome

“The best thing we can do for these people seeking a better life is to emulate the places they are fleeing as closely as possible.”

Stockholm, September 4 – The Swedish Ministry of Justice and Migration has launched a program to recruit women volunteers for purposes of undergoing sexual assault and forced coitus by Muslim migrants from the Middle East and North Africa in order to make the migrants and refugees experience the openness and tolerance with which the host country treats the newcomers’ native culture.

Minister of Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson announced the start of the Rape All Volunteers for Immigrant Societies’ Honor (RAVISH) program, which aims to make migrants from predominantly Muslim, conflict-riven countries feel welcome in Sweden. The program, which will formally begin this Tuesday, aims to enlist at least four thousand females to serve as “welcome consorts” for male migrants from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Sudan, the Palestinian Territories, and Yemen, among others. Through RAVISH, Johansson said, Sweden will attempt to reduce the cultural friction that affects both parties to the immigrant experience.

“More than three quarters of rapes committed in Sweden are committed by Muslim migrants,” noted the minister. “That is an appalling statistic, one that demonstrates rather starkly how sorely this program is needed. We must make our new residents feel welcome, not alienated by a culture that is unfamiliar to them. In their native culture, it is unheard of for a woman to have power over a man, and forcing our newcomers to depart from that established societal model is nothing less than cruel.”

“Therefore,” continued Johansson, “we have established RAVISH to serve as a welcome mat, a bridge, if you will, a vehicle to ease the adjustment for Muslim men into Sweden.”

Commentators note that the program, while directed mainly at Muslim men, will also help Muslim women. “Women migrants from Muslim countries are far less numerous than the men, but they should not be ignored,” explained Mustafa Harem, who studies the Muslim immigrant population in Sweden. “For the migrant women, this transplantation of their native culture will also help smooth the transition. It will not do to have the Muslim women encountering such notions as female empowerment, choice, and independence when those unfamiliar institutions can only sow disruption in the migrant’s traditional milieu.”

“Let us show some flexibility and tolerance, and volunteer for this noble endeavor,” he urged the women of Sweden. “The best thing we can do for these people seeking a better life is to emulate the places they are fleeing as closely as possible.”
