Oh really! Oh yes, lets have an independent investigation. Fat lot of good that will do. Read the article. These women-children are not only rape victims they are being treated as THINGS, by the rapists, by their own families and by the UN so called peace keepers.
Have you ever been raped? Have you ever been impregnated by a rapist? Just FYI I have. Do any of want to try living throughout that? Living in the USA, I had the option of placing my baby for adoption, imaging cutting your own arm off with a dull, rusty saw.
IMO The article points out two separate issues.
First, through out many parts of the world female = less than human = thing = do what ever you want to. War and it's aftermath merely concentrates this attitude in a smaller area.
Second, the "powerful" are willing to intervene up to a point. See we have troops there to keep the peace, we are wonderful humanitarians. Bull S**t
concentrating refugees in camps with out sufficient food sanitation and medical attention is nothing short of genocide.
One more point, the men using these refugee women-children are most likely either Christian or Islamic. Do any of you know what Christianity and Islam have to say about rape and fornication?
