Thousands of women and girls sought treatment for sexual violence in war-ravaged Sudan over nearly two years, with Doctors Without Borders saying Tuesday that rape is being used as a weapon in the country’s brutal conflict.
The aid group, known by its French acronym MSF, said at least 3,396 survivors of sexual violence were treated at its facilities between January 2024 and November 2025. Most survivors identified the attackers as armed men, while 60% of the reported cases in South Darfur involved multiple perpetrators.
