Based on my reading of the group's activist engagements, both online and in public, I argue that refugee men in particular faced limitations as they sought to address and fight sexualized violence against women in the German context. In addition, by focusing on refugee activist responses to Cologne, I show how racialized anti-refugee discourse creates limitations for activism aimed at ending sexualized violence.
