An officer at Police HQ said Ratnapura district had the  country’s highest number of child rape cases – 79 in 2009, and 47 in the  first six months of this year. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />                                               Most of the victims  lived on tea estates, in line rooms, where sexual molestation of  underage children is not uncommon. Families on tea estates often marry  off daughters who are underage.                          Last year, at least 55 and 53 child rape cases  were reported from Kegalle and Anuradhapura ..<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/baffled.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":baffled:" title="Baffled    :baffled:" data-shortname=":baffled:" />respectively, and 46 cases  were reported from Tangalle in the first six months of this year.                                                During the chena  cultivation season, farmer parents in Anuradhapura district go out to  work in the fields, leaving their children alone at home and exposed to  danger.                        “A lack of parental care, attention and  supervision is one major reason  children get sexually abused, and in  most cases the wrongdoer is a close relative of the victim,” the Police  officer said. “Going by the number of cases reported to the Police, it  would seem that girls in the 14-to-16 age group are becoming regular  targets for rape.”                                                  The officer added that  the number of rape cases that go unreported may be much greater than the  number that gets reported.                                                Meanwhile, according to  the Police officer, sex is becoming common practice among  schoolchildren in Colombo, who said that easy access to pornography on  the Internet was a contributing factor. <a href="http://sundaytimes.lk/101010/News/nws_02.html" target="_blank">http://sundaytimes.lk/101010/News/nws_02.html</a>   More than 400,000 women are raped in the Democratic Republic of <a href="http://www.reuters.com/places/congo" target="_blank">Congo</a>  every year, according to a study by U.S. researchers published  Wednesday, but the United Nations has expressed doubt over the findings.  Congo, which has a population  of around 60 million, has endured decades of conflict, characterized by  the use of brutal sexual violence against civilians, with mass rapes  still regular in the largely lawless eastern provinces.The  study, which used nationwide data collected by the government between  2006 and 2007, found that on average 1,100 women were raped every day in  the vast central African country.Around 60 percent of victims were forced to have sex by their husbands or partners, it said."Rates  across the country are high, nowhere is a woman in the Congo safe from  sexual violence," Tia Palermo, one of the authors of the study published  in The American Journal of Public Health, told Reuters.She said they were particularly surprised by the high levels of rape in areas not directly affected by fighting.The  study used information from 3,400 women and then used the figure to  calculate the national statistics, Palermo said. She said the figures  were the most accurate yet published but were still likely to be a  conservative estimate.However, the  validity of the research has been questioned by Beatrix Attinger  Colijn, the head of the U.N. team tackling sexual violence in the  country, who said the sample group was too small and that the research  did not reflect local and cultural factors that could affect rates of  sexual violence."This seems a  limited type of study, we try to get away from numbers and give a more  analytical context of why sexual violence happens," she said, adding  that statistics from five years ago are not relevant to the current  situation.Attinger Colijn said  that emphasizing the issue of sexual violence was a distraction from the  wider problems of insecurity and violence that still beset the country,  with donors channeling vast sums of money into projects focused on  rape."We don't need figures like  this to know sexual violence is a problem, there are many other types of  violence and human rights issues that need to be tackled," she added.SOURCE: <a href="http://bit.ly/bS37FG" target="_blank">bit.ly/bS37FG</a> American Journal of Public Health, June 2011.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /><a href="http://www.targetmap.com/viewer.aspx?reportId=7426" target="_blank">http://www.targetmap.com/viewer.aspx?reportId=7426</a></blockquote>
