Ma prochaine bataille sera un printemps arabe pour les femmes. Je ne supporte plus qu’on se sert du viol comme arme de guerre
Un excellent article sur le viol des femmes en Syrie:
For female victims of war, their own side fails to forgive:
Her father killed her," ran the news in my village in eastern Syria. An underage girl had been shot by her father for having sex with a group of men. She had been lured into sex by one of the men, who later invited his friends to join.
The father found out after the girl’s pregnancy started to show. During interrogation by her family, the girl named the men, one by one. Apparently, she was still unaware of the magnitude of her compromised situation; by all accounts, she was walking from one side of the house to the other, oblivious to any danger, when her father ran towards her and pulled the trigger.
The household’s verdict had been carried out, but the higher social ruling had yet to come. After the family members “washed” the
shame, they were asked to leave the area. Meanwhile, one of the assailants was handed over to the police to be tried - or, rather, to be protected - and the rest were acquitted by the court of public opinion.
It is a story that took place a few years ago, but it underlines how a trend in Syrian society deals with female victims of sexual assault. It is still true today and will be in the foreseeable future despite the enlightened popular revolts across the Arab world.
