CAIRO, Oct 17 - The 17-year-old South Sudanese refugee finally managed to escape after three months as a prisoner in a Cairo apartment where she was repeatedly gang raped, only to realise that she had become pregnant by one of her attackers.
The 17-year old South Sudanese woman said she was snatched by strangers in a poor neighbourhood and brought by a taxi to another area, where a man locked her up in an apartment for three months and repeatedly raped her with friends. "He touched me, after which I slapped him on the face," she said."Immediately, around four other people , each one grabbing me from a different body part. I tried to defend myself, but how can I defend myself?"
Jobs are scarce. With austerity measures having driven up inflation since last year, many have found it more difficult to pay rent. Increasingly they have become homeless or are forced to share rooms with strangers, making them more vulnerable to sexual assault. But rights groups say such measures have done little to deter attacks against African migrants, who often have no recourse to the police or family to protect them.
