Officials call for immigrant sex education to cut rape toll
Gender equality officials in Norway are suggesting sex education classes for new immigrants to help cut offences of rape.
Statistics from the Oslo region have shown attackers of non-Western origin were described in 65% of all reported rapes.
The report describes an immigrant as a person born outside Norway or born in Norway of two parents from outside the country. Immigrants make up 14% of the population of Oslo.
Rachel Paul, from the Centre for Gender Equality, told daily newspaper Dagbladet that immigrants needed to be informed about sexual behaviour in Norway.
She said: "A good idea would be to offer sexual education to male immigrants when they arrive in Norway."
The newspaper reports that politicians from left-wing parties have responded positively to the idea.
