The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has said women
in the Lake Chad basin have been forced to prostitute to survive, and
attributed the development to Boko Haram insurgency, which drove
millions from their homes and left children to starve.
“It is extraordinary to see a woman and her family and they have nothing other than what they have been given.
“The children are clearly malnourished and it is just hopeless,’’ Simon Brooks, head of ICRC’s delegation in Cameroon, said.
According to Brooks, as the head of their households, some mothers
were forced to prostitute so they could feed their family, since many no
longer have husbands, because of the conflict.
“When you don’t have the means to survive, you’ll go begging
for it. It’s loss of dignity when you’re having to resort to something
like that just to keep your children alive – fraternising with people
who have money,’’ he said.
The unfolding catastrophe in the Lake Chad basin was named the most
neglected crisis of 2016 in a poll of aid agencies by the Thomson
Reuters Foundation.
“Overshadowed by the wars in Syria and Iraq and the global
refugee and migrant crisis, Lake Chad has barely made the headlines,’’ Brooks said in an interview in London.
The report said over seven million people lack food “but insecurity makes it hard for aid agencies to reach the most vulnerable.
“This area has suffered from decades of chronic neglect … if it
continues to be under-funded and under-reported, then, millions of
people will continue to suffer,’’ Brooks said.
