Horror scenarios in the Mediterranean: Women suffer from Europe while fleeing!
Formentera, Spanien - The central Mediterranean route, known as one of the most dangerous escape routes in the world, is the scene of unimaginable brutality and violence against migrants and refugees. According to a shocking report by the UN refugee agency UNHCR, 90 percent of women and girls who cross this route are victims of rapes. This shows in the story of Maria*, who reported how she tried to dress up as a man, only to be abused anyway. Another alarming development is the recent case of a minor refugee who was raped on a ship from Spain. The number of cases of such crimes remains high, since many incidents are not documented by the relatives and authorities, as the French newspaper Figaro reported.

In view of the ongoing challenges, efforts to protect migrants and the persecution of the perpetrators are essential.
