- Abstract
In an article published in the Atlantic on 3 June 2015, Alan Taylor wrote that millions of people are migrating because they are "escaping regions plagued by warfare, instability, disasters, poverty, or systemic persecution", and he added that multiple crises worldwide are driving the record migrations, which include Africans and Middle Easterners entering Europe, Rohingya Muslims fleeing Burma, Central Americans travelling to the U.S., Yemen, Burundi, Somalia, Iraq, and more -- all undertaking risky journeys to find better lives. This forced migration is inclusive of Syrian refugees, who are seemingly scattered in diasporic communities in many parts of the world, due to their massive exodus from the civil war that plagued their country. This paper purports to investigate the exploitation of Syrian children, the early marriage, rape and divorce of Syrian girls, whose nightmarish stories unequivocally troubled the journalists in the newsrooms and the layman in the public space. News media, British and American, constitute the mainstay of this enquiry in as much as they invariably shed light on the Syrian crisis and the psychological traumas of Syrian children.
