Hidden Shame

“Hij was toch al zo’n soort jongen”

Als maatschappij, zijn we betreurenswaardig
efficiënt in het rechtvaardigen van
seksueel geweld. Het was of de kleding,
of de manier van lopen, of de houding,
of de glimlach, of iets aan het
slachtoffer dat het moeilijk maakte voor de
aanvaller om de overduidelijke
afwezigheid van toestemming in de situatie.

He was that kind of boy anyway

“The first time I sold my body was when I was eight years old,” says Naeem a-matter-of factly. Naeem is now thirteen, a runaway kid and a veteran of the streets of Peshawar, one of Pakistan’s most dangerous cities. He has been a child prostitute since he was eight and a drug addict since he was nine. The first time he sold his body, his junkie elder brother kicked him out of the house and told him not to return without earning some money. “My brother said by any means necessary,” Naeem continues. “I hadn’t been home in three days, so then I did it with a man in the park.”

The key points of ‘Pakistan’s Hidden Shame’, a documentary film produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that sheds light on the issue of child sexual abuse in Pakistan. Here are some of the key points of the documentary:

  1. The film highlights the widespread problem of child sexual abuse in Pakistan, which is often ignored or covered up by the authorities and the society.

  2. It features the stories of several victims of child sexual abuse, including boys and girls, who have suffered physical, emotional and psychological trauma due to the abuse.

  3. The documentary reveals how some religious leaders and madrassa teachers are involved in the abuse of children, often using their position of power and influence to exploit vulnerable children.

  4. It also shows how the police and the justice system in Pakistan often fail to take action against the perpetrators of child sexual abuse, due to corruption, incompetence or lack of political will.

  5. The film highlights the efforts of some activists, journalists and NGOs who are working to raise awareness about the issue of child sexual abuse in Pakistan and to provide support to the victims and their families.

Overall, ‘Pakistan’s Hidden Shame’ is a powerful and disturbing documentary that exposes the dark reality of child sexual abuse in Pakistan and the urgent need for action to protect children and bring the perpetrators to justice.

In towns and cities across Pakistan, tens of thousands of vulnerable young boys have become the victims of paedophile predators who seem to have nothing to fear from the law. It’s an open secret that few acknowledge publicly and even fewer want to do anything about.
 
In a society where women are hidden from view and young girls deemed untouchable, the bus stations, truck stops and alleyways have become the hunting ground for perverted men to prey on the innocent. In one survey alone, 95% of truck drivers admitted having sex with boys was their favourite entertainment. At the main bus terminal in Peshawar, a makeshift hostel for drivers passing through is set up every evening with around twenty beds lying side by side. Some are occupied by men, some by boys, and some by both. Most boys have been procured by hostel owners like Hassan Deen: “When a kid is wandering the streets alone, we lure him in by telling him we’ll give him some food and a place to stay. Then we pass them on to the drivers.” In return for a pittance, the men can have sex with as many boys as they desire. 
 
Pedestrians stroll by as though nothing is amiss and police say they’re too busy fighting terrorists to have time for the children. Forever damaged and with no hope, many of the boys turn to drugs to numb the pain and sorrow. 
 
One of the boys we feature is 13-year-old Naeem. Having been gang-raped by four men when he was just 10, Naeem is now a child prostitute and abuser of younger boys himself. As he says: “Sometimes I wish I’d never been born.”

4 Pakistan street children vulnerable to sexual abuse

Back to menu

16 aug. 2015

Pakistan is investigating a child sexual abuse scandal in Punjab province. There have been reports of more than 280 children abused, video-taped and then blackmailed. Al Jazeera’s Nicole Johnston reports from Lahore.

The key points regarding the issue of Pakistan street children being vulnerable to sexual abuse are:

  1. Prevalence of sexual abuse: Street children in Pakistan, who are often living in poverty, lack proper shelter, and are exposed to various risks, including sexual abuse. They are vulnerable to sexual exploitation, harassment, and assault.

  2. Lack of protection: Street children in Pakistan often lack access to basic protection mechanisms such as a safe home, supportive family, and proper education. This leaves them more susceptible to sexual abuse as they are often on their own and may be forced into exploitative situations.

  3. Perpetrators of abuse: Street children in Pakistan may face abuse from various perpetrators, including adults, other children, or even authority figures. This can include sexual harassment, assault, or exploitation, such as being coerced into prostitution or subjected to child trafficking.

  4. Barriers to reporting: Street children in Pakistan may face significant barriers in reporting sexual abuse, such as fear of reprisal, social stigma, or lack of trust in law enforcement or social services. This can result in underreporting and a lack of access to justice and support for survivors.

  5. Long-term impact: Sexual abuse can have severe and long-term physical, emotional, and psychological effects on street children, including trauma, mental health issues, and disrupted development. It can also perpetuate a cycle of poverty and marginalization, further limiting their access to education and opportunities for a better future.

  6. Need for intervention: There is a pressing need for increased awareness, prevention measures, and interventions to protect street children in Pakistan from sexual abuse. This includes providing safe shelters, education, and access to support services, as well as addressing social and systemic issues that contribute to the vulnerability of street children to sexual abuse.

It is important to address the issue of sexual abuse among street children in Pakistan and ensure that they are protected from harm, provided with appropriate support, and afforded their basic human rights. This requires a multi-faceted approach involving government agencies, civil society organizations, communities, and individuals working together to create a safer environment for street children in Pakistan.

Too many people dodging responsibilities by just saying “Pray/I will pray/may god ….”. Praying does nothing. People’s will will. As long as you’re relying on prayers the world will always be the mess it is now.

Almighty God says it “would be better to have a millstone tied around your neck and tossed in the sea than to harm a child.” People better wake up as Christ Jesus is coming back soon. God will avenge the abuse of these precious kids.

Who is it thats abuseing these children seen as pakistan is muslim country !?
Kevin Cabrera
This needs more attention. If anyone sees my comment like, comment, and share. This truly hurts my soul
Yuri R.
These abused children don’t need muslim charity. It is islam that causes these problems: separation of men and women, the way women are treated, the way gay men are treated, all this contributes to child abuse in islamic countries.
