'War on women and girls' : Sexual violence the 'blueprint and strategy' of Sudan's brutal civil war
As Sudan's brutal civil war enters its fourth year, Angela Diffley is joined by Idil Absiye, Regional Policy Advisor for Women, Peace and Security at the UN Women East and Southern Africa Regional Office. Drawing on field data, partner testimonies, and recent institutional reporting, she examines how the conflict has evolved into a systematic campaign of violence against women and girls, a weapon of war. As sexual violence instils terror and fractures communities, there is an urgent need for accountability, sustained international attention, and direct support to women-led organisations operating on the frontlines of this crisis.
