 ABSTRACT

Custodial brutality committed against women in police stations, jails, social care facilities, migrant detention
centres and other governmental agencies is Governmental abuse. Sexual abuse, like rape, committed against
women in prison is perceived to be a especially heinous breach of moral decency and the right of human
beings to bodily integrity, and would also constitute torture.
The power exerted by correctional officers over the daily lives of women can often result in abuse in return
for privileges, commodities or essential needs through demands for sexual acts. While cases of custodial
violence against women are recorded in countries across the world, few comprehensive statistics are
available to assess the extent of such violence across countries. Other examples of abuse against women in
prison reported by various media include: unwanted monitoring during bathing or undressing; body searches
carried out by or in the presence of men; and verbal sexual harassment.
