UN report documents systematic use of sexual violence as a tactic of war in Sudan
Summary
A UN Human Rights report documents widespread and brutal conflict-related sexual violence in Sudan since the conflict began in April 2023. The report finds that sexual violence has been used consistently as a tactic to terrorize civilians, has spread geographically alongside the conflict, and has profound long-term impacts on victims, families, and communities. The report calls for justice and victim-centred responses to address these patterns and impacts.
