7 Countries with the Worst Orphanages in the World

5. Guatemala

Guatemala made the headlines last year on 8th March when 43 girls died in The Hogar Seguro Virgen de la Asunción, one of the many overcrowded orphanages. The girls, aged from 12 to 17, were locked and they set fire to the beds as a protest for being continuously abused and raped. When they tried to escape, the exit was blocked, and they burned to death. The country has a long history of treating girls as disposable bodies.
