Place of assault:

Type of VAW: Child Rape
Narration of the
incident: (Quotation from her father)
“Quote” “ I
live in Waberi district in Mogadishu , I sent my
daughter of 7 years old to buy cooking oil from a nearby
shop. Before you reach the shop, you will have to pass
some old buildings which were ruined in the civil war.
After my daughter being away for 30 minutes from the
house, I heard screaming and crowds of people shouting
while some of the people in the crowd were calling out
my name ! Nur.. Nur.. Then, I stood up and went outside
to see the situation. Immediately, I found some people
carrying up my daughter bleeding and I took her to the
nearest pharmacy to get her injected with vitamin K to
stop bleeding.
After the bleeding had
stopped, I took my daughter to SOS Hospital in Mogadishu
for treatment. The case of my daughter was submitted to
COGWO Documentation Centre since as I understand there
was working relationship between the Hospital and the
Documentation Centre. While I was in SOS Hospital , I
was approached by COGWO Doc. Centre human rights data
collectors who took us (my daughter and myself) to
Alfurqan Clinic in Mogadishu where we have met Dr.
Gandhi. After the necessary diagnosis on my daughter,
Dr. Gandhi declared that my 7 year old daughter was
inhumanely raped. The Doctor also stated that both the
genital and the rectum of my daughter were all opened up
through beyond recognition.

Action taken by
COGWO:
1. Medical Remedy:
COGWO Doc.
Centre provided with this small girl victim of 7 years
old with regular medical support because the victim (Murayo
Nur Ali) can not control its stool and is also unaware
when the stool and urine is coming through.
2.Nutritional
Support:
Medical support in
Mogadishu have prescribed COGWO to provide the victim
with nutritional support regularly during treatment
3.Legal Remedy:
COGWO has made the
necessary documentation of this awful case of Murayo Nur
Ali aged 7 years old at the documentation centre. Also,
COGWO has carried out the necessary investigation into
the case by meeting four ( 4) eye-witness people who are
willing to testify the case in front of court (any legal
system) in the future when an effective Somali
Government is in place. The eye-witness persons had
signed the investigation narrative document/form.
4) Counseling:
The victim aged 7 years
old became mentally unfit because of the extra-ordinary
sexual assault (Rape). COGWO invites the victim along
with her father to both an individual and group
counseling which is held at COGWO training hall in
Mogadishu .
COGWO Recommendation:
COGWO Documentation
Centre would highly recommend for the victim to be taken
abroad for treatment since the Medical Doctor who made
the diagnosis of the case confirmed that the case can
not be treated in Somalia and thus prescribed her to be
treated outside the country.
