I have watched what has happened to young Christian women in Europe on multiple New Years’s Eves. They gather (usually with other women) in various public places (town squares, historic plazas, iconic parks) to welcome in the new year with long-established traditions.
About 15 years ago I started to read stories in the American press about assaults (groping, shoving, yelling sexual insults) directed at these European women. Always by roving groups of male foreign nationals.
My memory is that these incidents would start in smaller cities (I remember Swedish and German locales in the beginning) and then move (over the years) to much bigger urban centers.
With a new mayor being sworn in on New Year’s Day in New York City, do you have any elevated security concerns for American women attending the annual Times Square celebration on New Year’s Eve? I do.
