Women and girls ‘not safe anywhere’ as Darfur suffers surge in sexual violence

Medecins Sans Frontieres report sparks calls for Sudan's warring parties to be held to account for rapes and attacks

As Sudan's Darfur region has been overrun by militias, women are facing the constant threat of sexual violence, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has reported.

The medical charity said in the South Darfur region alone its workers treated 659 sexual violence survivors between January and March this year, more than two-thirds of whom had been raped.
