Int\u2019l Day to End Sexual Violence in Conflict puts widespread Sudan atrocities in focus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

19\/06\/2025 – DABANGA SUDAN. As Sudan\u2019s war rages on, women and girls are facing unprecedented levels of violence, with armed groups systematically using sexual violence as a weapon of war. On the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, the story of a small group of women offers a glimpse into the broader reality of many Sudanese.
 
These women are the counsellors of Team Zamzam, a group once dedicated to addressing the psychological trauma of survivors in North Darfur\u2019s sprawling Zamzam camp. Today, they are refugees themselves, sheltering in eastern Chat. Their former haven, once home to half a million people, was effectively obliterated in a series of attacks in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
