A girl aged six years was attacked in the city of Mukalla in Hadramout province for a brutal rape, which drove her into a critical health condition.
A local source in the city of Mukalla said that a young man raped a 6-year-old girl brutally, adding that the young man managed to escape to an unknown destination after committing the terrible moral crime against the child.
The source pointed out that this terrible incident aroused great anger among the people of the city of Mukalla, who affirmed that such nightmares have become everyone’s fear when their little girls are on the streets.
It is noteworthy that the phenomenon of rape has spread very recently in the areas controlled by the forces of the Saudi-led coalition amid a chaos of security, which led many families to conceal these crimes considering them dishonorable.
It is noteworthy that reports on newspapers and media recorded 74 crimes of rape against children, boys and girls, in a number of eastern and southern provinces occupied during the first half of this year.
On the other hand, a second child has fallen as a victim of sexual harassment in a matter of hours in Lahj.
A medical report revealed that a child under the age of eight was subjected to sexual harassment in a rural area in Tabn district, Lahj Province.
The forensic report on “Aden Time” said that the child (W, M, P) had been sexually assaulted. The report also pointed out that in the Republic Hospital in the capital Aden, traces of superficial red-colored were seen at the entrance to the anus.
The medical opinion of the report shows that the child (W, M, P) was subjected to sexual harassment through his anus.
A region in the district of Tabn in Lahj Province witnessed yet another rape crime against a child aged less than 9 years old.
The crime of rape and sexual harassment of children has provoked widespread discontent among the population, calling for a severe punishment of the perpetrators, protection and rehabilitation of the victims of rape and sexual harassment, as well as spread awareness and advocacy campaigns to protect and promote public morality.
