The first such program to teach immigrants about local norms and how to avoid misreading social signals was initiated in Stavanger, the center of Norways oil industry and a magnet for migrants, after a series of rapes from 2009 to 2011.

Mr. Kelifa, the African asylum seeker, said he still had a hard time accepting that a wife could accuse her husband of sexual assault. But he added that he had learned how to read previously baffling signals from women who wear short skirts, smile or simply walk alone at night without an escort.
Men have weaknesses and when they see someone smiling it is difficult to control, Mr. Kelifa said, explaining that in his own country, Eritrea, if someone wants a lady he can just take her and he will not be punished, at least not by the police.
Norway, he said, treats women differently. They can do any job from prime minister to truck driver and have the right to relax in bars or on the street without being bothered, he added.
