I have just one last question on the sexual violence towards youth and children.

We had testimony from Afghanistan about a practice with young boys, boy dancing I believe it was. The additional traumatic thing about that situation was that the boy was actually enslaved for a time. Do you find those kinds of things happening in these focus countries that you're talking about? Is there long-term enslavement of young people? Are they repeatedly subjected to this sexual violence?
