Increase in Sexual Violence and Rape Commited By Amisom Against Mugdisho's Women

Recommended Posts

Mogadishu (RBC) In its annual report, the Human Rights Watch organization released on Tuesday blasts that Women and girls in Somalia face alarming levels of sexual violence throughout the country.

 

Internally displaced women and girls are particularly vulnerable to rape by armed men including government soldiers and militia members. In January, a displaced woman, who alleged that she was raped by government soldiers, and a journalist who interviewed her were prosecuted in a deeply flawed and politicized judicial process.

 

The report said that Somali Government Security forces have also threatened individuals who have reported rape, and service providers.

 

Human Rights Watch also mentioned reports of sexual exploitation and abuse by AMISOM increased in Mogadishu. In a March 2013 resolution, the UN Security Council called on AMISOM to take measures to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation and address allegations of abuse.

 

In August, a woman alleged that she was abducted by soldiers and then transferred to AMISOM soldiers who raped her. A joint Somali and AMISOM high-level task force was established to investigate, during which AMISOM publicly denied the allegations.

 

The alleged victim and witnesses were intimidated by government intelligence agents during the investigation.

 

There is no response from the head of the African Union Mission command in Somalia on this report.

These people talk about Somaliland yet their women get raped on the streets of Mugdisho by Amisom mercenaries.

" and you are while your women get rapped on the side walk" - Landers.
