Raped and hiding in Iraq
Thousands of rapes have been committed and gone unpunished in Iraq since the war. Iraqi women who have been raped face great social stigma and often are blamed or even killed in so-called "honor killings" for bringing "shame" to their families. For many of these women, the only way to protect themselves is to go into hiding in secret "safe houses." Here are some of their stories, courtesy of PBS.
