Refugee camps worldwide are plagued by violence, that is a fact

The charity, which now treats female migrants stuck in the sprawling Grande-Synthe tent camp in neighbouring Dunkirk, added the women were raped and beaten on a daily basis, and had become immune to sexual violence and abuse.

Mr Matis added: Some women were repeatedly raped during the perilous journey to Europe.

Others are trapped in abusive marriages. And some women are pimped out by their husbands and forced into so-called survival sex with people smugglers so that their families can continue travelling across Europe.

The charity added that tearing down refugee camps was not the solution to the migrant crisis, and called on the government to open more emergency shelters.

Mr Matis said: Every time a makeshift camp is evacuated and dismantled, thousands of female migrants are brutally uprooted and exposed to danger and insecurity. The chaos that ensues increases their vulnerability to sexual assault.
