Officials in Berlin are shocked at individual reports reaching bureaucrats on a daily basis of attacks against defenceless people.
In the town of Giessen, near Frankfurt, 15 women in one camp have filed complaints to local police of rape and other forms of sexual abuse.
But while hundreds of incidents have been reported, fear of men and family elders, coupled with the stigma of being a victim, have, say officials, prevented thousands of women and children from going to the authorities to register complaints.
The Ministry for Families, Seniors, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ) will now provide money for the scheme which aims to give better protection to the vulnerable, including the remodelling of migrant centres to give more privacy to females and minors.
Police have for long told of a rising trend of abuse, including rapes, but in the highly-charged political atmosphere that surrounds the whole refugee issue in Germany the problem has largely remained unaddressed.
Municipal authorities will be able to get the money from central government in the form of in zero-interest loans.
