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

ALBAWABA - Shocking reports continue to emerge from Sudan on rape and sexual assaults that are used as a war weapon against women and females by Sudan's warring parties, particularly the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which committed widespread acts of rape and even gang rape.  

Human Rights Watch released an 89-page report called "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 start of the war on April 15, 2023.

HRW also reported that women and females in Khartoum and neighbouring cities are being held and used by the RSF in terrible conditions that could "amount to sexual slavery".
