This report from British Channel 4 sheds a light on a dark aspect of the suffering that many Syrian women are undergoing after they fled to Jordan’s Zataari refugee camp to escape violence at home. Women and children now live in fear of kidnap, rape, and sham marriages in the camp that was originally meant to keep them safe.
An Associated Press report from last month found that scores of women in the Zaatari refugee camp over the border in Jordan had either turned to or have been forced into prostitution. And families at the camp have been reported to have sold their daughters for cash, often to Gulf men, in order to support family members back in Syria.
