Over 100 women commit mass suicide in Sudan’s Al Jazirah

ALBAWABA – Shocking reports continue to emerge from Sudan of rapes and sexual assaults being used as weapons of war against women by Sudan’s belligerents, especially the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which have committed widespread acts of rape and even rape collective.

Human Rights Watch has released an 89-page report titled “Khartoum Is Not Safe for Women”: Sexual Violence Against Women and Girls in Sudan’s Capital, documenting horrific rape and sexual violence, as well as forced and child marriage in Sudan since the beginning of the war April 15, 2023

HRW also reported that women in Khartoum and neighboring cities are being held and exploited by the RSF in terrible conditions that may “amount to sexual slavery.”
