Sudanese women told harrowing stories of their suffering during the ongoing war in Sudan, expressing their hopes for an end to the fighting and the return of peace and stability. The testimonies documented by Radio Albanat<\/em> in a programme included experiences of loss and displacement, in addition to grave violations against women and girls, amid calls to highlight the voices of victims.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mawaddah Abdullah Ibrahim, a displaced person from Khartoum, told Radio Albanat<\/em> that she lost her mother and her brother was injured while fleeing the fighting. She noted that their home was completely damaged, and they were forced to move between several areas in search of safety. She added, \u201cMy only wish is for the war to stop and for security to return to Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Journalist Lubna Ali Awni explained that she was forced to leave her city for a new, unfamiliar environment. She said that the war has had significant psychological and social effects on women, adding, \u201cWe hope the war will stop so that life can return to normal, and that we can enjoy security and stability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related context, student Dhikrayat, who had been out of school for two years due to the war, said she was about to sit for her high school exams when the fighting broke out. She added with grief, \u201cI lost two years of my academic life, as if the dream had suddenly stopped.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For her part, Rawya Al-Fateh, a psychologist, lecturer, and trainer in awareness and community relations, warned of the profound psychological consequences of the war, particularly for women and girls. She said there have been cases of physical, verbal, and sexual violence, even affecting girls as young as 12, leading to widespread anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
