War in Sudan between rival militaries has been raging for 19 months, uprooting well over 11 million people both inside Sudan and beyond and leaving a staggering 24.8 million people in need of assistance.
In addition to the struggle for survival, investigators appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva have warned that women and girls have been subjected to large-scale sexual violence, gang-rape, abduction and detention akin to sexual slavery.
To find out more about this disturbing development, UN News’s Nancy Sarkis sat down with Mona Rishmawi, member of the Fact-Finding Mission on Sudan, who told her a battle is “being fought on the bodies of women.”
