[Rudaw] The United Kingdom is "failing to protect" women and kiddies trafficked by the Islamic State![]() Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) group and detained in northeastern Syria (Rojava), according to a new report. UK-based advocacy group Reprieve has found that at least 63% of British women detained indefinitely at destitute camps in Rojava have been trafficked, they say in their new report. ISIS has groomed hundreds of women and girls using common trafficking tactics, convincing them to travel to their territory, only to be subjected to forced marriage, sex slavery, and various other abuses. The non-governmental organization argues that the UK is failing to proactively prevent trafficking and identify those of its citizens already trafficked. It says that the country is operating on an "inaccurate legal definition of human trafficking" and a "blanket approach based on harmful stereotypes" when making decisions in respect of British nationals in Rojava. The report outlines the story of Nadia, who was taken to Syria from the UK by a male relative at the age of 12. After being forced into marriage, she became pregnant at 15 as a result of rape. Both Nadia and her son are being held in camps and have no prospects of returning to the UK. "These are victims who have been abandoned. I find it cruel, callous and cynical," Maya Foa, Reprieve’s director, said in the report. |
