Throughout Sudan, women are in desperate need. Women suffered horrible abuses during the decades-long wars, having been targeted for violence by armies on all sides. TWO MILLION women have been raped, FOUR MILLION uprooted and hundreds of thousands live in refugee camps.
In Southern Sudan, where Women for Women works, survivors tell stories of militias storming villages in the dead of night, setting homes on fire and shooting family and friends. Rebels commonly gang-rape women, kidnap boys to become soldiers and take girls as sex slaves. Today, a lucky few Sudanese women are able to return home, but the obstacles they face are daunting. Most are illiterate, emotionally wounded and physically exhausted.

That's 4.9 million people who go to bed at night fearing the future. People who must watch their children play – oftentimes in dangerous settlements – but always without the certainty of providing them a better future. |
