We see girls who are bleeding heavily
From the Independent: IS is shutting down gynecology clinics in Raqqa, clinics which are more than ever needed because IS is also raping little girls. A one-two punch.
Isis is believed to have ordered the closure of all women’s clinics supervised by male doctors in its Syrian heartlands in its latest assault on the rights of women.
A culture of rape, forced marriages for child brides, the persecution of doctors and the exclusive use of medicines for militants have resulted in a crisis for women’s health under Isis’s brutal regime.
According to activists, Isis has drastically restricted the work of male gynaecologists in accordance with its leaders’ belief that men and women should be kept apart at all costs.
That women and men should be kept apart at all costs and that men should get all the good things while women make do with the crumbs, if there are any.
Earlier this year, doctors in Isis’s Libyan territories reported a dramatic increase in cases of miscarriages and STDs among young women, as girls are forced into unions with fighters.
One gynaecologist told The Times in May that girls taken in to clinics were often so young they had no real sense of what was happening to them. “We see girls who are bleeding heavily from their genital area. Some of them don’t know what sex is — they come into the clinic playing with their dolls.”
That’s why IS likes them – tiny holes, you see. Tiny holes that bleed heavily after rape.
God hates little girls.
I had to sit still and cry for a couple of minutes after reading this. God, the depraved cruelty.
I spent years trying to find a word with less religious baggage, but the only word I can think of for this is – evil.
@Josh:
Me too. I didn’t expect it. Cruelty heaped on cruelty heaped on cruelty. Cruelty all the way down. I think being cruel to anything is the worst thing people can do and we seem, as a species, to *delight* in it. What’s not to cry about?
I would like to think the majority of the men doing these things couldn’t if they weren’t trained to despise women and girls. It’s hard for me to understand it happening even with indoctorination.
I love my daughter to bits and I wish every girl got the love she does.
It’s worth noting that their Victorianesque prudery sits comfortably next to their fondness for kiddie rape.
