According to the paper, as many as 22 girls under the age of 18 may have become pregnant, a figure which the COA has not confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Vulnerable<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We have been given evidence by staff, the refugee agency Vluchtelingenwerk and the guardianship agency Nidos,\u2019 the spokesman said. \u2018Young refugee minors are extremely vulnerable. We have informed the police and human trafficking expertise centre.\u2019 There have been a number of \u2018serious\u2019 cases, the spokesman said. The girls are now being advised not to attend the services and can be banned from doing so by their guardians. A spokesman for the church authorities, Teklit Girmazion, told the Reformatorisch Dagblad that he is shocked by the allegations. The church no longer allows people to visit overnight following complaints from locals, he said. While some youngsters do stay with other church members, he has no evidence they are being abused, Girmazion said.<\/p>\n<p>Read more at DutchNews.nl: Eritrean orthodox church in Rotterdam at centre of abuse alarm <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl\/news\/archives\/2016\/01\/eritrean-orthodox-church-in-rotterdam-at-centre-of-abuse-alarm\/\">http:\/\/www.dutchnews.nl\/news\/archives\/2016\/01\/eritrean-orthodox-church-in-rotterdam-at-centre-of-abuse-alarm\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eritrean orthodox church in Rotterdam at centre of abuse alarm Society January 11, 2016 &nbsp; The Dutch refugee settlement agency COA has told young asylum seekers not to attend services at the Eritrean orthodox church in Rotterdam because of concerns they will be at risk of abuse, the Reformatorisch Dagblad says on Monday.
