Child Sex Slaves Inside Saudi

BY KAVANWAL MD





In the dark, dirty basements of the most luxurious palaces, child sex slaves huddle together, fearing the hours and days before them. They are denied proper shelter. They are denied food, and they are robbed of any and all dignity.  

How can this be? It is a fair question. The basis of it lies in the words of Sheik Saleh Al-Fawzan, a famous and revered religious authority in Saudi Arabia:  

“Slavery is part of jihad, and jihad will remain as long there is Islam."(World Net Daily, 2003).  

The endorsement of slavery from religious authorities allows for broad interpretation, and the pressure from the Western World to abolish slavery is a ‘thorn in the side’ for most Saudis. In pursuit to pacify the West, the ruling members of Saudi Arabia deny vehemently the existence of slaves,especially child sex slaves, and in their arrogance, redefine it.

Women from Third World countries are purchased to serve in aristocratic households throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They range in age from nine to sixteen years old—some may be in their early twenties. They come from the Sudan, Thailand, Ethiopia, India and the Philippines and are frequently bought and sold, their families and extended family given cash in exchange for one of their children.

They are eager to sell a daughter (or son—but it is mostly the girls that are sold). They believe it will benefit the family--they believe their child will live in luxury with a Saudi prince.

For the vulnerable, this is a dream come true, but in reality, is a farce.

A Saudi prince or rich businessman who purchases child sex slaves believes he is committing a charitable act by “rescuing” a family from abject poverty while delivering his slave into a fate worse than death.

He brings young girls into his palace, dumps them in damp basements without so much as a blanket for cover at night.

The young girl is lucky to have food, is often raped, tortured, and is persecuted by her owners and members of the royal household, both male and female.

How do you know? You ask me. I saw it with my own eyes.

When working in a place of a prominent Princess, I came across child sex slaves hidden in the basement. (The details are written in the fictionalized account of my time in Saudi in the novel, Surreal in Saudi , and in my articles that will soon be ready for download, if you seek in-depth, documented details on this subject)

Saudis believe in a hierarchal society and sanction supremacy, a pride that causes dissention between other Arabs within their brotherhood.

Saudi Arabs consider themselves superior to all other people and rank themselves above Arab Muslims of neighboring nations. Because they house and protect the two holy cities, Mecca and Medina, the heart and pillars of their faith, it gives credence to the justification of their supremacy, breeding an arrogant, egotistical pride and gives rise and causation to terrorist acts, such as 911.

In the Kingdom, 92 percent believe and practice Wahhabism, a form of Islam, which, according to Vali Nasr, an authority on Islamic Fundamentalism, is not practiced beyond the Arabian Peninsula.

The Saudis rank their Arab brethren according to devotion to Islam. The Saudi Arab is the highest, followed by Arabs from other nations.

According to the Wahhabis, no other form or practice of Islam is pure, and there is little tolerance for Shiites or Kurds or others.

Muslims from other nations are ranked below the Arab Muslim, even if they are Sunni, and their importance is determined by the nation they come from.

For example, a Muslim from Egypt or the Sudan is superior to someone from India or the Philippines. For those who are not Muslim, if they cannot be “reverted” to Islam, then they are deemed less than human.

The “pure” Saudi man believes it is right to rule over others, subject the vulnerable to abhorrent conditions and make demands on the women he owns and marries.

Although he may treat his wife with some degree of respect, and follow the rules of beating his wives on a regular basis, the slave or servant is powerless against him.

I came face to face with the horrors and realities of trafficking and child sex slaves when living and working in one of two palaces of high-ranking Princesses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. There is a distinction between servants and slaves..

Servants have assigned tasks, may have annual holidays, and are sometimes paid for their work.

Slaves are dictated to and are ‘loaned’ to male servants when they are bored, so they can put a woman in her place or satisfy sexual desires.

These child sex slaves are beaten, tortured, even killed.
