No refuge for Somali women

Women make up the bulk of the new arrivals in Somalia's camps for displaced people. They come alone or with their children, as most of their husbands have either stayed behind or have been killed. Lacking the protection of their clan, they are the most vulnerable to violence. Camp residents report that several rapes take place every night. An AFPTV report from the Galkayo settlement.
