An account from a 16 year old girl
...........................................................................................................
Every day women and girls, some as young as eight, are raped in war zones. In Sudan and eastern Chad the Janjawid and the allied militia are using rape and sexual violence for tactical reasons. Humiliation and terror is used to punish and control. As a result women and whole communities are being driven from their homes.
The current armed conflict in Sudan has been described as one of the worst human rights crises in the world and the situation is steadily getting worse.
The violence in Sudan has spread across the border into eastern Chad, with severe consequences for women and girls. Women have been raped or abducted and subjected to sexual enslavement. Many have been killed.
