QuoteChildren and women are being raped by traffickers inside a refugee camp in northern France, according to detailed testimony gathered ahead of fresh legal action against the UK government’s approach to the welfare of unaccompanied minors.Corroborating accounts from volunteers, medics, refugees and other officials reveal that sexual abuse is common within the large camp at Dunkirk and that children and women are forced to have sex by traffickers in return for blankets or food or the offer of passage to the UK.
Legal proceedings will be issued by London-based Bindmans against the Home Office, which is accused of acting unfairly and irrationally by electing to settle only minors from the vast Calais camp that closed last October, ignoring the child refugees gathered in Dunkirk, 40 miles away along the coast.
The legal action, brought on behalf of the Dunkirk Legal Support Team and funded by a crowd justice scheme, says the Home Office’s approach was arbitrary and mean-spirited. On Wednesday the government’s approach to child refugees provoked widespread indignation when the home secretary, Amber Rudd, announced the decision to end the “Dubs schemeâ€, having allowed just 350 children to enter the UK, 10% of the number most MPs and aid organisations had been led to believe could enter.
Accounts from those at the camp, which currently holds up to 2,000 refugees, of whom an estimated 100 are unaccompanied minors, portray a squalid site with inadequate security and atrocious living conditions. The Dunkirk Legal Support Team says the failure of the authorities to guard the site has allowed the smugglers to take control.
One volunteer coordinator, who started working at the camp last year, said: “Sexual assault, violence and rape are all far too common. Minors are assaulted and women are raped and forced to pay for smuggling with their bodies.†Testifying on condition of anonymity, she added: “Although the showers are meant to be locked at night, particularly dangerous individuals in the camp have keys and are able to take the women to the showers in the night to force themselves on them. This has happened to women I know very well.â€
She said that one of the most in-demand products distributed to women in Camp de la Linière â€" the Dunkirk Camp â€" are adult nappies. “Women are too scared to go to the toilets in the night. None of the locks in the women’s toilets in the camp work,†she said.
The volunteer also recounted several incidents where minors had been attacked: “A 12-year-old girl was groomed in the camp by a man well over twice her age. When she no longer wanted to speak with him because his behaviour towards her had become so obscene, he threatened her. A 13-year-old boy ended up returning to his home country having been raped in the camp.â€
Another statement provided by an ex-NGO worker, who spent three and a half years volunteering at Dunkirk, said men targeted women and children because they were so vulnerable. “You see women in a male environment with men that are disconnected from reality, so there are serious incidents such as rape. Women, children, young teens, male and female.†The worker referred to the children as being like “little steaks†because they were considered so appetitising and vulnerable to traffickers, of whom dozens are resident on site. One woman travelling by herself said that unaccompanied individuals were viewed as prey: “All men see that I’m alone, and it’s the same for the children. Men see me and they want to rape me.â€
The witness statement from another volunteer, who could speak Arabic, describes how a 14-year-old from Morocco appeared to have been raped and could not sit down and kept repeating that he felt so “ashamedâ€.
Their account stated: “He didn’t want anything, he was only crying and asking for his mum. He had been badly beaten.â€
The worker also described how a young child had been sexually assaulted on site, leaving her mother so shocked she had been rendered mute. “We have also seen in the past a woman holding a seven or eight-year-old girl by her arm next to GSF [the charity Gynaecology sans Frontières has a unit on site] and apparently this child had been raped just before, and the woman was afraid to report it to police. She was there, standing silent refusing to report it.â€
Another account from a volunteer refers to an incident in November 2016 when a 17-year-old unaccompanied minor complained of sharing a shelter with six older strangers. “Between 23.00 and midnight he called to say he will wait for me outside the camp. He was usually very calm, but this time he was anxious. When we finally met he told me that somebody tried to sexually assault/force him into sexual activity. He managed to escape when he was going to use the toilet.†The threat of violence in the camp was described as so severe that many reported guns and knives being carried openly.
Georgia Feilding of the Dunkirk Legal Support Team said: “We have done all that we can to draw the plight of the Dunkirk children to the attention of the UK government and implored them to act to honour the pledges made. We now have no other choice but to turn to the high court to challenge their failure to protect these most vulnerable of children and provide them with a safe route and sanctuary in the UK.â€
This is what happens when you turn your back on refugees. This is what happens when your xenophobic ideology becomes policy. And this is what happens when you spew such bigoted and ignorant rhetoric such as, "Lol, it's just a bunch of opportunistic young men looking for a cheap meal coming here. Lololol where are all the women and children?"
The women are hiding because people like you have allowed these places to become living hells for people trying to escape countries that have been torn into living hell, or have been sold into human slavery. And for the children...
Edit: Spoiled, because it is graphic content of a dead child laying on a beach that was literally shared on every site and every news channel. It was originally unspoiled if a moderator comes in here, so not trying to hide it or pretend it wasn't.

You want to talk about how refugees are destroying European culture? If European culture is this, then perhaps it deserves to be destroyed. But in all honesty, European culture is perfectly fine and will be fine... it's people like you who are threatening to destroy it by electing politicians who have not an ounce of respect for "Liberté, égalité, fraternité", just like you.
Yes, to improve the world we need to adopt all the starving Chinese (that is what the cause of causes was in the 1930s .. thanks to Imperial Japan). How many will you take, Shiranu?
And really, you have always had lovely avatars ... but LBJ? You are dead to me ;-)
Yes, in a good world, women and children would always be supported and cared for (and not unnecessarily dominated). But this isn't a good world.
When criminals are involved in any process, any horror can and will happen. I can understand authorities just shooting human smugglers on sight. I'm getting there myself sometimes on bad days.

Welcome to the real world Shiranu. What exactly did you hope to achieve with showing pictures of dead or dying children?
Honestly if this is the only platform you have to say this stuff, your not really doing that much about this yourself, really, instead of telling everyone how horrible they are, why aren't you going to those places and feeding the poor and hungry?
Or maybe you can't afford to, just like every other normal person who just works and tries to survive.
btw, since showing pictures of dead/dying children is perfectly fine now, is the rule of showing cocks now accepted without censor?

Neither is damaging, in my opinion. I don't know much about this forum's rules, but I would figure the image of a dead child is less damaging than that of a cock.
Understand that I am basing this on basic forum rules.
Dude, a dead child is an horrific thing to show, a cock is a subjective thing to show. They show graphs and images or penises to kids in schools when teaching biology. What they don't show are images of dead children.

To be honest, one coming across that image alone does not automatically shout "dead child". In fact, my first impression was that the child was sleeping on the beach.
Underage users can view this site without signing up or joining, and the would see the image of the cock. Forums have rules against nudity for a reason.

underage users will first see a photo of a dead child, and the spilling hate speech. Theres more of an issue here with the op then a simple naked man picture.
Btw, in my country, a child can walk into newsagents and pick up a sun newspaper with giant tits on the second page, that must be so damaging for them.

I never said it was damaging. However, parents have expectations of websites. If a parent wanted, s/he could get this forum in trouble for that naked cock.
And images of dead children.
QuoteThat's your opinion.
And your opinion is somehow seeing a dead child is less of a problem then seeing a naked man.

Well I was asleep friend so didn't see the change. Honestly Baruch, your pretty much a sea of calm with some of the weird shit that goes on this forum, dunno how you manage to put up with us lot sometimes.
Edit: ah P.E beat me to it, good show.
Oh and Shiranu since you went into a bit of a virtue signally rant I don't really care what you got to say anymore, so I'll just leave it with this, use some common sense next time, and get off the computer once in a while. Kudos.

To be fair, I did originally have it unspoiled. Don't want to pretend it wasn't when he first responded to it.
A) the image of that poor child has been public for a couple years. Anyone who has NOT seen it is probably on a christian web-site. Munch I am sorry but for the most part we try really hard to stray....purposefully from "porn-like images" and, I don't even know what it was, but if Pick deleted it understand I would have done it quicker.
B)Shir, thank you for your honesty but again, that picture, disturbing as it is, is now an iconic image of what we do to each other. And while we could say the same about Munches..it is in a totally different arena.
Munch, as you know, I am, if not the leading voice, then perhaps the second leading voice to keep "porn" off "our" site. Yes it is subjective. I hope you stay, I enjoy you.

bygones be bygones, I appreciate you guys doing stuff like that and keeping things in check.
My intent was to just highlight a point, but probably got a bit carried away, I've no real intent to subject kids to stuff they shouldn't see, thats why I keep my nephews out of my bedroom and the pictures of naked men on my wall when they come visit.
I suppose it's dark to say that a drowned kid has less effect on me than it would have say, a few years ago. But I guess that's what years of seeing thousands of images like this plus EMS does to you
For some reason I thought munch said dong and posted a doorbell.
I'm very tired
The picture of the drowned kid was the best propaganda picture the media could get.
And boy, they have spread it far and wide.
This has opened the borders for migrants without any opposition.
Not that there was any opposition, to begin with.
I read that the dead kid was repositioned on the beach for better photographic effect.
