Sexual Assault and Exploitation of Children in Syria

Submitted by crinadmin on Tue, 28/11/2006 - 12:37

Summary: The analysis of sexual assaults and exploitation of children in Syria face many difficulties, especially because it is a private and familial matter that is not expressed openly. Moreover, there are no numbers and national indexes concerning this subject, and the government does not give it sufficient attention, which makes it difficult to define the volume of the phenomenon. But there are certain indices through specific research and lawsuits that arrive at the courts and in the juvenile institutes, in addition to some of what is published in the local newspapers.Owner: Daad Moussapdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/SAVE_THE_CHILDREN_Sexual_Assault_and_Exploitation _of_Children_in_Syria_(English).pdf
