The ongoing conflict in Sudan has seen sexual violence utilized as a strategic tool of warfare, according to the UNFPA country representative. This tactic is particularly detrimental to women and girls.
Amidst widespread displacement, the lack of adequate health services exacerbates the situation, leaving victims with limited access to necessary care and support.
The implications of this violence extend beyond immediate physical harm, affecting community structures and long-term recovery efforts in the region.
