Berghain has outlined new safety and awareness protocols for clubgoers on their website following a rise in needle and drink spiking reports.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it is important to note that such unwitting, non-consensual and devious assaults happen rarely, every case is one too much,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
In an effort to better address the welfare of attendees, the \u201cpreviously unwritten\u201d rules include steps to ensure one\u2019s own safety, ways to help others in need and a non-exhaustive list of resources for mental and physical health support. The page makes it clear that offenders will be \u201cpermanently removed from the premises and reported to authorities.\u201d It also clarifies that all staff are available to assist patrons who are feeling unwell, or have experienced sexual violence in the club.<\/p>\n
He rollout of these policies comes after a number of women spoke up about their own experiences with needle spiking at the Berlin club in late May. Prior to this post, the venue had recently come under criticism for ejecting a woman who had been spiked from the club.<\/p>\n
