This investigation shows that laws, policies, regulations and procedures in Jordan prevent children of migrant workers – male and female – from being able to officially register their children. This deprives these children of legal protection and leads to them being denied their human and legal rights.

This investigation shows how, between 2011 and 2017, Syrian women and girls were arrested on fabricated charges of terrorism or of being linked to wanted individuals. Other women were held without charge or used either as bargaining chips or as a way to blackmail their families and pressure them to hand over people wanted by the authorities. These female detainees suffered harsh interrogations inside Syrian security centres, and were systematically tortured using electric shocks, beatings, sexual assault, and psychological intimidation to break their will.

While the focus of attention in Iraq is currently on the draft Personal Status Law – and the regression in women’s rights it threatens to usher in, including even allowing for marriage at the age of nine, which some religious sects in the country consider right - thousands of Iraqi women are being murdered on grounds of honour. Some are buried in secret graves - either as a means to expunge the “shame of sinful women” killed in crimes of honour, or to cover up cases of incest - by exploiting loopholes in Iraq’s criminal law which allows the victim to be handed over to her killer (the girl or woman to her guardian).

An investigation reveals that Egypt’s Public Prosecution deliberately neglects to investigate complaints of detainee torture at the hands of police officers—an act that stands in direct violation of the constitution.
