A Syrian man who had run out of money allegedly allowed smugglers to rape his wife as payment for his family being trafficked to Europe.
The unidentified woman and a mother-of-four children, is now believed to be living in Berlin. The woman remains in constant fear that her husband is going to kill her. According to the woman, her husband had run out of money and purportedly volunteered her for payment to smugglers.
Susanne Hohne, the lead psychotherapist at Berlin who treats refugee females, said that the woman displays all symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, including flashbacks, insomnia and has trouble concentrating, media reports quoted her as saying.
Susanne further said that at least 44 women in her care have experienced sexual violence.
Shocking pictures of a drowned toddler emerged in September 2015. The child, thought to be a Syrian, was washed up on a beach. The boat was trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea but drowned because of high waves in the water.
Syria’s civil war advocates the worst humanitarian crisis of all time. Families are struggling for safe conditions to live and are forced to make neighbouring countries their new home.
More than 136,000 people have been brutally killed in the war of Syria since March 2011, and millions have migrated to other countries.
Refugee displacement in the Mediterranean countries has gained momentum in recent months. The migration is coupled with thousands of unreported cases of sexual assault on migrant women.
According to a report, more than 2,600 people have died while trying to cross the Mediterranean to Europe in 2015. Some have drowned while others have been killed in stampedes.
this is so sad….my heart goes out to the women and children of Syria…dem really ah feel it…
Sad is not the word..my head can come up with other words..it cause me to stare in open space..how can a man offer his beloved for torturing…would he want her back after his dept was settled…omg
mi seh….i cannot even find suitable words for something so awful…clearly she is not his beloved and merely a belonging…
Nutten new, dis a common assault fi women globally. Lot did offer fi him virgin daughters to di crowd a man di use as dem desire, so dis ting been going on since di dawn of time. Men won’t offer their mouths or rear, but quickly volunteer their daughters and wives to be used in any manner to appease other men. Aye sah.
