Saudi Arabias SECRET Rehab Prisons For ABUSED Disobedient Women
Revealed- Saudi Arabias SECRET Rehab Prisons For Disobedient Women
Girls and young women describe facing flogging and abuse in so called care homes after arguing with their fathers or husbands The Guardian 28 MAY 2025 https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/c91e1...none&crop=none Girls grow up fearing Saudi Arabias Dar al Reaya https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/05...8419285013.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/05...8419441980.jpg https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2025/05...8419444559.jpg https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/25473...none&crop=none A young woman wearing a black abaya is pictured in a city in northwest Saudi Arabia standing precariously on a secondfloor window ledge. A second photograph shows a group of men escorting her down with the help of a crane. The womans identity is unknown, but she was allegedly being held at one of Saudi Arabias notoriously secretive jails for women banished by their families or husbands for disobedience, extramarital sexual relations or being absent from home. It was a rare glimpse of the plight of hundreds or more girls and young women believed to be held in such facilities, where they are ?rehabilitated? so they can return to their families. Speaking out in public or sharing footage of these care homes, or Dar al Reaya, has become impossible in a country where voices on womens rights appear to have been silenced. But over the past six months, the Guardian has gathered testimony about what it is like inside these institutions, described as hellish, with weekly floggings, forced religious teachings and no visits or contact with the outside world. Conditions are reported to be so bad that there have been several cases of suicide or attempted suicide. The women can spend years locked up, unable to leave without the permission of their family or a male guardian. Every girl growing up in Saudi knows about Dar al Reaya and how awful it is. Its like hell. I tried to end my life when I found out I was going to be taken to one. I knew what happened to women there and thought I cant survive it says one young Saudi woman who later managed to flee into exile. Maryam Aldossari, a Saudi activist based in London, says: A young girl or woman will stay in there for as long as it takes for her to accept the rules. Saudi officials have described the care homes, which were set up across the country in the 1960s, as providing shelter for girls accused or convicted of various crimes and say they are used to rehabilitate the female inmates with the help of psychiatrists in order to return them to their family But Sarah Al Yahia, who started a campaign to abolish the care homes, has spoken to a number of girls who describe an abusive regime, with inmates subjected to strip searches and virginity tests on arrival and given sedatives to put them to sleep. It is a prison, not a care home, as they like to call it. They call each other by numbers. Number 35, come here. When one of the girls shared her family name, she got lashes. If she doesnt pray, she gets lashes. If she is found alone with another woman she gets lashes and is accused of being a lesbian. The guards gather and watch when the girls are being lashed. Yahia, who is now 38 and lives in exile, says her parents had threatened to send her to Dar al Reaya since she was 13. My father used it as a threat if I didnt obey his sexual abuse, she says, adding that girls and women may face the horrifying dilemma of deciding between Dar al Reaya and staying in an abusive home. If you are sexually abused or get pregnant by your brother or father you are the one sent to Dar al Reaya to protect the familys reputation The Saudi Prisons For Women VICTIMS of Abuse https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9XElzgE-ytw/maxresdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8xF7E3Ve5E&t=3s Saudi Arabias Hell Prison The Deadly Struggle in 50?C Heat https://www.rvcj.com/wp-content/uplo...air-prison.jpg https://cdn.expatwoman.com/s3fs-publ...c49c9b1fcc.jpg http://news.bbc.co.uk/olmedia/178500...son-ap-300.jpg https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img...45/1032791.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x99sBdwV2QQ&t=19s Saudi Arabias Gilded Prison For The Rich at Riyadh Ritz Carlton https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/720x405/p05nzcs1.jpg Inside Five Star Prison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rCNMTR-5_g&t=10s |
