Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls Used as a Weapon of War in Sudan
ai generated text
Reports of widespread sexual violence by Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) against women and girls have been documented by Amnesty International. According to the organization, at least 36 cases have been recorded, with victims as young as 15 years old.
The RSF have carried out widespread sexual violence across towns and villages in Sudan to humiliate, assert control and displace communities.
The RSF's assaults on Sudanese women and girls are sickening, depraved and aimed at inflicting maximum humiliation.
The RSF's atrocities, including rape, gang-rape and sexual slavery, amount to war crimes and possible crimes against humanity.
