NGO accuses North Korea of institutionalised child sex abuse

NGO accuses North Korea of institutionalised child sex abuseNorth Korean children are "constantly in danger" of sexual abuse and resulting social stigma without any chance to seek legal protection, a Seoul-based rights group said on Wednesday. Activists with PSCORE, or People for Successful Corean Reunification, interviewed more than 200 young male and female North Koreans who had fled to settle in the affluent, democratic South for a study on child abuse at home, at school and in state facilities such as prison camps and orphanages. In a 195-page report, "Inescapable Violence: Child Abuse within North Korea", the group described sexual abuse as "institutionalised and widely accepted as a normal part of life".
