Sweden to hold 'man-free' music festival

Swedish comedian Emma Knyckare is organizing a "man-free" music festival in her home country in response to rape and sexual assault claims at festivals.

She suggested the idea after reports of a number of sexual offenses at Sweden's biggest music festival Bravalla, which has now been cancelled for next year.

"What do you think about putting together a really cool festival where only non-men are welcome?" she tweeted.

She said it would take place "until all men have learned how to behave".
