'Women and girls sexually exploited in Syria in exchange for emergency aid'

damascus - Local employees of the United Nations and international aid organizations have sexually exploited women in Syria in exchange for emergency aid. That reports the British broadcaster BBC Tuesday. Although there would have been warnings about the abuse three years ago, a new report from the UN shows that the misconduct has not yet stopped.

The perpetrators would be men who deliver relief goods on behalf of international organizations. Syrian women and girls had to get married with the aid workers to get food in exchange for sex, according to the report. For many other things, such as getting a lift or other goods besides food, sexual acts had to be performed.
