What Happens to Women in the Camps!


Orla Guerin was reporting from Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan on the 20th August and was able to show the conditions in the camp there and the situation that mothers find themselves in. Having no money and because it is a trans-cultural tradition, they were thinking of selling their daughters for the next meal! Horror we think we, who have never experienced such a predicament. Here where the clash of cultures is at the forefront of our minds.

Millions have been pledged by different Governments to the Iraq War and the fighting in Syria and where does this money go to? The public believes it's gone but it is held up and is siphoned off to other parts of the globe! We are talking here of millions of pounds. The first world which is us in the UK and could afford a meal for those destitute mothers. But how do we get it there?

Would we behave like these men going to fight from the UK? They travel there to fight to show how they feel about this horrendous situation. Would we travel there to fight for peace and help deliver humanitarian aid?
