The UN has reported the alarming use of rape as a weapon of war in the ongoing civil conflict in Sudan, underscoring a severe humanitarian crisis.

This brutal conflict has displaced over 14 million people, forcing many to seek refuge in neighboring Chad.

Both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitaries are implicated in these atrocities, contributing to the escalating violence that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since April 2024.

Investigators have revealed that armed groups have sexually abused hundreds of children, including infants and many under five years old, during this turmoil.
