Toutefois, l'un des chercheurs de Human Rights Watch, Samer Muscati, a dit que plusieurs des femmes autochtones à qui il a parlé avant de rédiger son rapport étaient aussi craintives que les femmes de pays tels que la Libye et l'Irak, où les forces de sécurité se rendent coupables des pires abus et se soucient fort peu de protéger la population.
However, one of the researchers for the Human Rights Watch, Samer Muscati, said that many of the Aboriginal women he spoke with for this report had the same level of fear as he found in other contexts in countries such as Libya and Iraq where the security forces are implicated in the worst type of abuses and are known not to protect the population.
