In a horrifying report by UNICEF, armed men in Sudan have been implicated in the rape of hundreds of children during the ongoing civil war. Since the beginning of 2024, 221 cases have been documented, with a significant portion of the victims being under five, including infants. The violence has led to severe physical injuries, psychological damage, and instances of child marriage, amid an environment rife with sexual violence, gang rapes, and potential spread of STIs, including HIV. The conflict has resulted in widespread atrocities and humanitarian crises, displacing millions and killing tens of thousands.
The humanitarian crisis in Sudan continues to deepen as unabated civil war leads to horrific acts of sexual violence against vulnerable children, highlighting systemic failures in protection.
