Award-winning correspondent Ramita Navai (Iraq Uncovered) traces allegations from Congo to the Central African Republic, with firsthand accounts from survivors, witnesses and officials. Some survivors were as young as 10 when they say they were raped or exploited by UN peacekeepers who were supposed to protect them. The film explores the failures and constraints of the UN — which has the authority to fire people, but not prosecute them — and the role of member states in dealing with the problem.

Nearly a million children are severely abused or neglected every year in America. The cost to society of this abuse is staggering – over $100 billion annually. Headlines on child abuse are usually about a wrenching fatality or the failure of the state social service system to protect the most vulnerable among us. Yet there are survivors.

Child sexual abuse in Pakistan: Zainab’s Legacy | Witness

8 mrt. 2021

In January 2018, seven-year-old Zainab Ansari was raped and murdered. Her body was discovered on a rubbish heap in Kasur, Pakistan’s “child abuse capital”, sparking national outrage that reverberated across the world.
 
Zainab’s father, Amin, channelled his grief into a fight for justice and demanded systemic change.
 
Two years later, the government of Pakistan passed the “Zainab Alert Bill”, a child protection law that mandates changes including faster police response to reports of missing children.
 
But, as the number of reported child abuse cases rises, Amin wonders what justice really means.

Zainab was his 8th victim. That’s all you need to know about how the justice system works for commoners in Pakistan.

Mt cousin’s 5 years old son was kidnapped, raped and thrown in a canal. His body was found two days later. There were protests but nothing happened. Police, politicians no one was interested even though the suspect was literally living just few houses away and the parents of the kid openly told police. The suspect was also involved in similar kinda situations before aswell but nothing happened. My cousin still cries for her son but Pakistani Corrupt police and Justice system don’t care.

I am from India, it just broke my heart. These pedophiles are not just area specific but can be found all over the world. We can be bad people we can hate each other in the name of religion, nationality, ethnicity, etc but these people who are doing such horrible things with a minor, they should be killed without any mercy. I have a 5 year old niece at my home and even when she falls while walking the whole house start making her feel better and to see someone you love so dearly go through this can be the worst feeling in this world.

man watching her dad show her stuff made my heart so heavy

May Allah Subhanuhu wa’ta’ala continue to comfort and strengthen her family and protect them from all harm, ameen.

If it happened to rich people it would have been different outcome. But main fact is to change people how they think from birth and what environment we provide for our kids

What a beautiful father … Zainab must have been a beautiful child to have inspired such strength, courage and wisdom as her father to shoulder his pain and fight against this horrible blight in the world … violent and sexual crimes against children. Thank you for making this film.

Tania Culver Humphrey grew up with a renowned father and a terrible secret. While Ellsworth Culver was building Oregon-based Mercy Corps into an international force for good, he sexually abused his daughter for more than a decade, beginning when she was in preschool. 
 
Humphrey eventually told the acclaimed humanitarian relief organization, providing graphic details of her experience and supporting documentation. But her word wasn’t enough. Mercy Corps allowed her father to continue to travel the globe as the charity’s public face. 
 
Now 48 and a mother herself, Humphrey wants Mercy Corps to answer the question that’s haunted her for years: Why didn’t they stop him? Read The Oregonian/OregonLive’s investigation here: https://projects.oregonlive.com/no-me…

7 Meet the Women Fighting Against Rampant Misogyny in Afghanistan

28 jun. 2016

Women Arise (2009): There’s a burgeoning women’s rights movement in Afghanistan, but can it ever succeed when there are so many obstacles in its path?
 

‘The Sex Law’ may have been watered down, but forced marriage, domestic violence and rape still define life for most Afghan women. Now a fledgling women’s rights movement is determined to change that legacy.

It’s more than 8 years since the Taliban ruled Herat, but for many women here life has barely changed. In this refuge called ‘Voice of Women’, Suraya tries to combat the abuse of women that has occurred under President Karzai’s watch. “Forced and child marriage has not reduced since 2001. It’’s still a common practice” says Suraya. For those not lucky enough to make it to her shelter, prison is the alternative. Young girls are charged with ‘running away from home’ and ‘adultery’. “Here rape is considered adultery” reveals Suraya. 12 year old Nadia says she “doesn’’t know how to live” any more after being raped and charged with adultery.

Earlier this year President Karzai passed a law stopping women from going out without men, restricted their power of divorce and enforced sex at least every four days. He reviewed the law after local and international pressure. But for those brave enough to fight for women’s rights, the stakes are getting higher. “I would like to suffer today for women’s rights” says Suraya. Will the women’’s rights movement be able to turn the democratic process to their advantage?

8 Nepal Cracks Down On NGO Workers Exploiting Children

11 feb. 2019

Nepal’s Children At Risk: The vulnerability of Nepal’s poorest children draws humanitarian workers from around the world. But some foreigners exploit the trust of young children, sexually abusing those they claim to protect.

Producer: Liz Gooch
Cameraman: Craig Hansen

Executive Producer: Sharon Roobol

“I do think that Nepal, like any country where there are a lot of very poor children, is a target because paedophiles look for disposable children”, says Llori Handrahan, who tracks abuse by aid workers. Wealthy foreigners like the Canadian Peter Daglish win the trust of entire families. After police surveillance, Daglish was charged with paedophilia, although he denies the allegations. “Since April this year, Nepalese police have charged four other foreigners with similar offences”, says filmmaker Steve Chao. Dutch psychologist Piet Hein Van Terwisga is one such man and has been jailed for his crimes. “There’s no screening going on whatsoever”, Handrahan explains.

9 Pandemic results in massive rise in child abuse

8 apr. 2021
 
Digital Predators As internet use has skyrocketed due to COVID, so has the sharing of child abuse images. With tech companies abdicating responsibility and police struggling with the volume of abuse, there is no end in sight for this second pandemic. 
 
During COVID lockdowns police around the world have reported a massive rise in people viewing child sexual abuse images online. Analyst Paul says the proliferation of mobile phones amongst children has made it easier for abusers to find victims: ‘We have seen quite a large increase in self-generated content. Children of a lot younger age being able to put themselves on the internet far younger and share those images’. Abusers have also become increasingly tech savvy, and have formed communities in places like the dark web. Survivor of sexual abuse Rhiannon says: ‘These perpetrators are adults, they’re grown-ups who are skilled manipulators, who can get people to do things without them even realizing that that’s what they’re doing’. Chief Constable Simon Bailey is critical of tech companies that have failed to police the presence of predators on their websites: ‘Companies need to understand they have a social and a moral responsibility to protect children and to prevent the abuse of children. And the bottom line is that they are not doing enough’.

I have a friend who is a therapist. One year ago to the day, she told me that the shutdowns ( by then the curve hadn’t flattened nor would it in yet another 2 weeks, etc) would result n a huge and horrific mental health crisis if the shutdown lasted more than 90 days-in particular domestic and sexual abuse of children and spouses. She said that the majority of child abuse is reported within the school system, generally by a friend of the victim. She said the mental health community was basically told to shut up by the education community and state politicians who saw an opportunity to capitalize on the pandemic. She said there will be a generation of children that has been severely harmed by the shutdowns. Also, she cautioned about going out around crowds this summer. Her position is that people have lost some of the social skills that have defined normal civil society and a look or comment normally tolerated 2 years ago will likely escalate.

And people around me in Philadelphia, Pa got pregnant during the most uncertain time in modern human history. They expect me to “congratulate them” and I can’t say it. I say – What were you thinking? Were you unable to walk to the gas station for a condom? I can’t believe a couple would create a human out of selfishness. Those that had an accident…the young that will not stay together as a couple will end up in court for the government to give orders for visitation and how much they chop out for support. So much for a kid being yours. Most will grow up as weak and easily manipulated, reclusive, or suicidal. I am sorry for being blunt but it has to be said. Then you must worry about any one you leave the kid around. Target rich environments employ those that are sick and abuse children as they just have not been caught yet. America is finished. Enjoy the new normal…I can’t believe I am living in this mess.

Pornography actually is root cause for people to wanting more n more extreme videos. If pornography is legally banned seriously, alcohol banned 100% then such things will never happen. Above all its religion which guides a human in every walk of life. Remove religion from man’s life, he is an animal & will do wtever he pleases. Religion is the only key. Also sexual attraction & urge is more severe n strong than food or any other need, so marriages should be facilitated & encouraged to use sexual satisfaction of both men & woman in most humane, sane, moral & dignified way.

10 Malawi: Girls victims of ‘sexual cleansing’ ritual

16 feb. 2018

In the remote southern regions of Malawi, a violent tradition is practised on young women. Girls who reach puberty are forced to have sex with a “hyena”, a man chosen by their family. Strict rules surround this rape, which is organised in the utmost secrecy. Despite being outlawed, the ancient practice endures.
This report was co-financed by the Rotary magazine’s young TV reporter prize.

Girls in southern Malawi have no say in the matter. As soon as they get their first period, they are made to spend the night with a man chosen by their family – called a “hyena” – to mark their passage to womanhood. Locals believe this “sexual cleansing” ritual is necessary to “purify” the young women and protect them from serious illnesses. But for the girls, it’s a traumatic event: rape, which can result in an unwanted pregnancy.
“Hyenas” are men chosen by the community and recruited in secret by the girls’ parents. They are paid to have these forced sexual relations. And they never use protection: a disaster in a country where 10% of the population is HIV-positive. The figure is even higher in this poor region, where 16% of inhabitants carry the virus.
The practice is now banned, but in rural Malawi, old traditions die hard and enforcing the law is difficult. Yet mentalities are slowly changing, and people are beginning to speak out against this custom. Female district chiefs and NGOs have already begun the long struggle so that one day, girls in Malawi will no longer be victims of this tradition.

Society teaches ‘do not get raped’ instead of, ‘do not rape’. That’s the problem.

likeolikehinmygut
If someone pressured someone to tell their story, that would be wrong. But unless you know what it’s like to feel like you’re completely alone in what happened to you, you don’t realize the significance of documentaries and books where other survivors share their experiences. It’s one of the more helpful things when you’re really down.
