The mother of Izabella Tskhovrebova, 12, stayed behind in Tskhinval. The girl has obsessive thoughts, nightmares and feelings of guilt. (...) Kabisova, a Tskhinval resident 39-40 weeks pregnant, could not give birth naturally after A/HRC/9/G/5 página 5 spending three days and nights in a basement and was consequently forced to have an operation, in which the baby sustained head injuries. The death of newborn Nino Vasilevna Bechenova-Zenashvili is reported to have been caused by intrauterine hypoxia resulting from her mother’s having been in the basement of a burning house next to dead bodies for three nights during the shelling of Tskhinval.

On the first day of the incursion a 14-year-old girl was killed, followed by many more injuries on the second day as troops opened fire on demonstrators. (...) Some of the women had given birth during their detention, and in such cases the newborn are allowed to remain with the mothers until two years of age. (...) According to DCI research, the majority of girl detainees have been held for allegedly committing serious security offences, such as attempting to kill Israeli settlers or military personnel.

The practice of forced marriage is common in Guinea-Bissau, especially in the Gabú and Bafatá regions.27 On average, between 7 and 10 per cent of girls are forced into marriage before they reach the age of 15 years28 and 29 per cent are married before reaching 18 years of age.29 It is also evident that there are some differences according to economic status, with 37 per cent of women from very poor households married before the age of 18.30 In many instances, the marriage is a direct result of poverty, with the male head of household “selling” the girl in return for money, land or cattle. The Special Rapporteur is concerned that, in many cases, early marriages are the result of trafficking, in other words, girls being sold or traded for the purpose of marriage, usually via the threat or use of force, fraud or coercion.31 34. Anecdotal reports paint a tragic picture: in 2011 alone, members of a church in the Tombali region were beaten for sheltering 20 girls aged 14 to 16 who had run away to avoid forced marriages to older men, a 15-year-old girl was beaten to death for refusing to marry a much older man, and a girl and two of her female relatives were beaten for objecting to her wedding on the grounds that the girl was under age.
