By Megha Mohan and Haider Ahmed https //www bbc com/news/stories-48940041 A survey for the BBC of the Arab world turned up an unexpected result in Iraq - more men than women reported having experienced verbal sexual harassment and physical sexual assault. Can this really be the case? D-E Ecpat 2019/09/04 Iraq: Daesh’s retreat uncovered horrific cases of child sexual abuse https //www ecpat org/news/iraq-daesh-child-sexual-abuse/ Excerpt: A dark picture of child sexual exploitation has emerged in areas occupied by the retreating Daesh forces in Iraq – says a new ECPAT report. Years of conflict and instability have left children displaced and vulnerable to sexual exploitation – with many so desperate that they have no other option but to exchange sex for survival. In recent years, violence perpetrated by Daesh (also known as Da’esh, ISIS or ISIL), has displaced more than 3.3 million people in Iraq. Adding to that, the ongoing conflict in neighbouring Syria has forced 250,000 refugees across the border. Many children still remain in camps, struggling to survive in precarious economic situations. Children sexually exploited by camp authorities in exchange for food The report says children living in refugee or internally displaced people camps are at heightened risk of sexual exploitation. Prostitution rings have been uncovered, sometimes even operated by camp authorities. In those cases, they coerced women and children into providing sexual services in exchange for food or other supplies. Boys of all ages sexually exploited…In Iraq, boys are vulnerable to sexual exploitation as their movements in public spaces are less restricted than girls. Boys as young as seven have been lured into a situation of sexual exploitation by older boys and men with promises of candy, food or money. Boys pushed to provide sexual services in order to receive full wages. There’s also evidence that older boys face tremendous pressure to provide for their families. The scarcity of jobs is forcing them to work under exploitative conditions by being made to provide employers with sexual services in order to receive full wages. https //www ecpat org/news/iraq-daesh-child-sexual-abuse/ F-H Guardian 2010/04/25 The hypocrisy of child abuse in many Muslim countries.

He could actually hear the screams of a child and tried to take his complaint up the chain of command. Three days later the young Marine was found dead, murdered. Some say he was possibly killed by the young boy since his report made conditions worse while America did nothing but we really don't know what actually took place. And now the lance corporal's father has come out with the story, telling the press that his son had told him of the situation and just couldn't sleep knowing what he knew. https //wwwnorthfloridawriter com/blog/army-brass-wrong-captain-dan-quinn-h Quinn-Former Army Special Forces command Dan Quinn New York Times 2015/09/21 U.S. Soldiers Told to Ignore Sexual Abuse of Boys by Afghan Allies.
