Somalilandsun – In Somalia, women who fled a famine two years ago are now falling prey to rape by militias and even government troops. These attacks are taking place in displaced camps where they hoped to find refuge.

In January this year, a woman was even sent to prison after complaining that she was violated by government soldiers.
