"Sexual violence is a defining feature of this conflict, not confined to front lines, but pervasive across communities. This war is being fought on the backs and bodies of women and girls."
"Between January 2024 and November 2025, 3,396 survivors of sexual violence sought treatment in MSF-supported health facilities across North and South Darfur."
"Women and girls accounted for 97 percent of survivors treated in MSF programmes, highlighting the disproportionate impact of this violence on female populations."
Sexual violence has become a defining characteristic of the conflict in Sudan, with widespread reports of abuse by the Rapid Support Forces and allied militias. Hanaan, an 18-year-old survivor, recounted her traumatic experience of being raped alongside a friend. Between January 2024 and November 2025, 3,396 survivors sought treatment in MSF-supported facilities, with women and girls making up 97 percent of those treated. The report emphasizes that sexual violence is not limited to combat zones but is prevalent throughout communities, exacerbated by displacement and gender inequalities.
