On the occasion of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign, State Minister for Human Resources and Social Development Suleima Ishaq announced the launch of the campaign amid ongoing horrific violations committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia against women and girls in El-Fashir and Bara.
Suleima Ishaq stated that these violations constitute crimes against humanity and an assault on the dignity of Sudanese women, emphasizing the government’s commitment to implementing the national plan to end conflict-related sexual violence, ensure urgent protection and support for survivors, document violations, and hold perpetrators accountable without exception.
The minister said, “There will be no peace in Sudan as long as women are targeted and threatened,” stressing that the protection of women is fundamental to peace and stability in the country.
