Today's protest follows charges brought by actress Collien Fernandes against her husband, actor Christian Ulmen, over several accusations, including her claim that he shared deepfake sexual videos of her online. Fernandes is calling for better legislation in Germany to protect women against online sexual attacks. Fernandes filed the charges in Spain, where she says the law better protects women in online cases than in Germany. (Photo by Morris MacMatzen/Getty Images)
