一探究竟博科聖地之俘虜的生活

The first thing to note is that the vast majority of Boko Haram’s captives are female.

第一件要注意到的就是，博科聖地的大量俘虜中大部分都是女性

This is important because Boko Haram is a Muslim extremist group. And as such, their

這很重要因為博科聖地是一個伊斯蘭極權組織，而且因此，他們的

goal is to establish an extremely antiquated and strict version of sharia law. One that

目標是創造出一個非常古老也嚴峻版本的伊斯蘭教法。 在

in the best case scenario, still strips women of their human rights and treats them as

最好的情況之下，依然會剝奪女性的人權，而且還會威脅她們要對他們

completely subservient to men.

徹底地對男人服從

The kidnapped women who have since escaped, report rampant physical,

女性俘虜在逃出來後表示她們遭受著大量生理上

psychological and sexual abuse at the hands of Boko Haram fighters, including rape.

心理上以及性的虐待，在博科聖地的戰士手中遭受著這些，其中包含，強姦

There are reports that some commanders try to protect the girls from such acts, but

有報導指出有一些領袖抗議這種行為並想保護女孩們，但是

even that protection ends when the girls are sold into marriage against their will and

雖然抗議停止了，在女孩被違反自己意願的情況下賣去嫁做人婦的時候

forced into bed by their new husbands; a practice that’s common for Boko Haram.

她們也被迫與她們的新丈夫一起同床共枕，這是博科聖地常用的手法之一

off his own daughter to another man when she was only four years old. In addition to

this mistreatment of women, Boko Haram is also forcing captives to renounce their

對女性的虐待，博科聖地也強迫這些俘虜放棄她們自己的

religions. According to one of the now free girls, fighters put a noose around her neck

宗教信仰。 根據一個現在是自由身的女孩所說，戰士們在她的脖子上套上繩子

and threatened to hang her unless she renounced her Christianity and converted to

且威脅她要吊死她，除非她放棄她的基督信仰，改信

Islam. Those are the norms for women in captivity, but they’re not the only human rights

伊斯蘭教。 這些對於俘虜女性都是時有所聞，但是他們不只是人權

violations being committed.

造受迫害

Some factions of Boko Haram also use captives in their terrorist operations. Girls

博科聖地的一些派系也會利用俘虜還進行恐怖攻擊行動。 女孩們

forced to carry ammunition on the front lines, and they’ve been forced or manipulated

迫攜帶彈藥到戰場的最前線，也被強迫或被控制

into killing on behalf of the terrorist group.
