It’s time for people and governments around the world to establish the truth of what is happening in Sudan, bring suspected perpetrators to justice and provide comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care and reparations to survivors. We must keep #EyesOnSudan.
Sexual violence is widespread in the Sudan conflict. The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have systematically attacked women and girls across the country. The world is failing to protect civilians, provide sufficient humanitarian aid or hold perpetrators accountable for these crimes.
