The United Nations is documenting severe human rights violations, including sexual violence and rape, against displaced Sudanese women amid the world\u2019s largest displacement crisis.<\/p>\n
UNHCR spokesperson Eugenie Bion revealed that nearly 12 million people have been displaced by the conflict in Sudan, internally and abroad, making Sudan the country with the largest displacement crisis globally since the conflict began in April 2023.<\/p>\n
Bion stressed that protecting civilians\u2014especially women, girls, the elderly, and people with disabilities\u2014is an absolute priority. She confirmed that displaced populations bear the brunt of the crisis, losing homes and striving for safe return and livelihoods.<\/p>\n
The UN has documented widespread human rights violations since the crisis began, affecting internally displaced persons and refugees in neighboring countries, with a particular focus on gender-based and sexual violence.<\/p>\n
Bion highlighted the suffering of women on long foot journeys, including rape and forced detention, and issued an urgent appeal to all parties and the international community. She urged ensuring safe passage for displaced persons, unobstructed delivery of humanitarian aid, and protection of innocent civilians as a top priority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
