Rwanda: Call for Proper Preservation of Evidence in Sexual Crime; Treat house-helps with courtesy, says official
24 - 12- 2014
The New Times
By Michel Nkurunziza
There is still need for concerted efforts to contain sexual abuse in the country, especially cases involving children.
This was said yesterday by the Minister for Gender and Family Promotion, Oda Gasinzigwa.
Gasinzigwa was speaking during a national advocacy conference that brought together several women groups within the Great Lakes Region to discuss how best they can improve service delivery to victims of sexual crimes.
CSP Maurice Murigo, from Rwanda National Police (RNP), said between January and November this year, 1,324 children were defiled, 227 were raped while indecent assault was committed against seven children.
In Ruhango District, cases of sexual abuse increased from 16 in 2013 to 30 in 2014, while in Gatsibo District, they increased from 40 to 71, according to Cocafem, a women advocacy organisation operating in the two districts.
Police say all cases require primary evidence for investigation to succeed.
"We need scientific, physical, medical and oral evidence and all this is needed in its primacy.
That is why if a child is sexually abused, the clothes, condoms, medical reports that also contain primary evidence must be well conserved so as to help prosecution," CSP Murigo said.
The packaging of the evidence, delayed reports or even cases that are not reported at all as well as issues of chain of custody are some of the challenges.
Claude Kabutware, the representative of Cocafem, said they have put in place measures to train leaders and the public on how to help victims of sexual abuse and proper preservation of evidence.
He said they also provide psychological, medical, legal and economic support to the victims.
Other challenges are caused by hospitals that still charge for medical tests while others lack private rooms for the victims.
Justine Mukamwezi, from Rwanda Got Justice, a non-profit organisation based in Huye District, said in conjunction with police, they provide emergency transport to victims of sexual abuse.
She says they also carry out forensic interviews where a child freely narrates the incidence which greatly facilitates the investigation.
Mukamwezi said after establishing that house helps commit at least 13 per cent of the sexual crimes against children, they have embarked on sensitising employers and house helps against such acts.
Minister Gasinzirwa said the government is committed to preventing gender based violence as well as supporting the victims of sexual crimes.
"We have developed nine Isange One Stop Centres across the country and, by the end of next year, we will have added another 17 centres with minimum standards where police and psychologists will be deployed to provide the required aid," she said.
The minister added that five 'safe houses' will also be constructed across the country to receive the victims after leaving the centre for recovery before rejoining their families.

Treat house-helps with courtesy, says official

House-helps should be treated with courtesy and love as one of
the ways to curb child abuse and domestic violence, Christine Umuhire,
the director of family promotion and protection at the Ministry of
Gender and Family Promotion, has said.
“We find a housemaid in almost every homestead around the city; other
households have more than one, they are part of the family and they
deserve as much love and respect as every member of the family. This
will reduce risks of violating their rights as well as improving peace
in the family,” said Umuhire, adding that this also reduces the risk of
the house helps abusing the children that are left in their care.
She was speaking at the advocacy and capacity building meeting for
domestic workers organised by Association for the Defence of Human
Rights, Sustainable Development and Family Welfare (ADBEF).
Training housemaids
The meeting was held at Kimisagara One Stop Youth Employment and Productive Centre in Nyarugenge District, yesterday.
Umuhire said some housemaids are psychologically, emotionally or
financially abused by their employers and some decide to turn their
frustrations to the younger members of the family or children, rather
than confronting their bosses.
“We are against any form of violence,” Muhire said, adding that,
“housemaids should speak up against any violence experienced in homes
where they work, rather than turning their frustration to innocent young
ones,” the family protection and promotion director said.
Through the support of Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) and
UNDP Rwanda, ADBEF is training domestic workers on reproductive health,
family planning, sexually transmitted infections and HIV/Aids.
Lyhotely Ndagijimana, the chairperson of the ADBEF, said most of
housemaids are not privileged enough to have had parental care, thus
having differing behaviors that would at times influence them to make
errors of judgment.
“We should understand that the majority did not go to school or grew
up in secondary homes (not with their parents). They deserve love and
compassion to grow into better people,” said Ndagijimana.
The month-long training of housemaids, which begins January, will
benefit about 220 housemaids from three sectors of Nyakabanda,
Kimisagara and Gitega.

Teveel jaren
in het verleden
zijn getuige van een te lang zwijgen, toedekken, ontkennen, niet verwerkt krijgen.
Maar de kansen keren.
Jaar na jaar
en zelfs in een stroom versnellende tempo
wordt het drukkend geheim in cijfers
gegoten,
namen genoemd
daders aangeduid
dossiers afgehandeld
eindelijk
en toch
is de pijn
nooit helemaal weg
I knew Stan and Jack but
But their lives were not
Filled in. They were half dug.
It's not right.
We are made to dig
And then fill in the hole
Complete to finish the chore.
That's how we come to know
Who we are. It's about emptying
And filling. Kenosi. Pleroma.
Via Negativa. And Via Positiva
And I'm not sure but they both
Got screwed when it came to emptying
Holes deeper than any body ever needed.
Bodies filled with scars, holes and tattoos
Of grief. Hard hues and dues. Pain's paint chips.
I miss them. And you know what scares me?
I'm still digging too and feeling closer to them both.
There's this hole deeper than I'll need.
And I'm tired of dirt in my shoes and neath my nails.
You know, it's hard to see God
From the ignorant end of a slit trench
Or a grave.
Yea, perhaps no saints in foxholes
But, then again, don't look for atheists
In sickbeds either
Father, forgive us, for our words are black and
blue.
blue.
Father, forgive me, for a life in search of you.

Paus benoemt nieuwe leden commissie kinderbescherming
17 december 2014
ROME (KerkNet/VIS) – Paus Franciscus heeft vandaag nieuwe leden benoemd voor de Vaticaanse Commissie voor Kinderbescherming. De commissie wordt geleid door de Amerikaanse kardinaal Seán O'Malley ofm. Cap, de aartsbisschop van Boston en lid van de groep van negen raadgevers van de paus.

Franciscus maakte met de oprichting van de commissie duidelijk dat de bescherming van kinderen een absolute prioriteit is van de kerk. Hoofddoel van de commissie is de uitwerking van een beleid voor de bestrijding van seksueel misbruik in de Kerk, zowel betreffende preventie als vervolging.

Een volk dat voor tirannen zwicht laat zijn kinderen verkrachten
Warsaw, Poland. –Dominican Republic’s Justice minister on Monday said a former Vatican envoy suspected of child sex crimes cannot prosecuted in his country because treaty obligations give the Vatican full jurisdiction, rappler.com reports.
"Under the Vienna Convention, the prosecution of diplomats lies within the jurisdiction of the country that issued their accreditation," Justice minister Francisco Dominguez told reporters in Warsaw.
“In light of the medical condition of the accused, supported by medical documentation,” he was not housed in a Vatican jail cell.
One victim was a boy with epilepsy, for example; Ms. Goodstein cites, on good authority, that “the nuncio gave him medication for his condition in exchange for sexual acts.”
Is there no moral cellar there?

Preventieproject ter bestrijding van misbruik verhuist naar Rome
De jezuïet Hans Zollner is bijzonder tevreden met het geleverde werk: "De eindbalans is zeer positief. Wij hebben een e-learningprogramma, een via internet ondersteund leerplatform, gestart in samenwerking met het universitair ziekenhuis van Ulm en met de steun van het aartsbisdom München en Freising. Het werd uitgeprobeerd met deelnemers uit tien landen en elf projectpartners. De respons was zeer positief. Daarom wordt dit project voortgezet. Vanaf 1 januari verhuizen wij naar de Gregoriaanse Universiteit in Rome, waar het project wordt verdiept."De leiding van het centrum in Rome is in handen van de Vlaamse theologe Karlijn Demasure.
Het project werd begin 2012 gestart, met het oog op de bewustmaking en begeleiding van competente priesters, diakens, pastorale medewerkers en andere pastorale verantwoordelijken wereldwijd. Het streefde er vooral naar om deze mensen beter te bewapenen voor de bestrijding van seksueel misbruik en geweld. Volgens pater Zollner werd de cursisten onder meer vertrouwd gemaakt met de herkenning van de symptomen van misbruik, de begeleiding van slachtoffers, evenals manieren om misbruik te bestrijden en ermee om te gaan. 
Volgens kardinaal Reinhard Marx heeft zijn aartsbisdom het pilootproject in zijn aanvangsfase voor een bedrag van 651.000 euro gefinancierd. Ook de komende vijf jaar blijft het aartsbisdom 500.000 euro bijdragen om de werking mogelijk te maken. Pater Zollner vult nog aan dat het project tot op heden heel gespecialiseerd en academisch was. Bij de verhuis naar Rome wordt ernaar gestreefd om de drempel ook voor mensen met minder competenties te verlagen, om het project toegankelijker te maken.
