Support to Sudanese women responding to conflict and crisis
On 15 April 2023, conflict erupted in Khartoum between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), severely impacting women and girls. This short briefing outlines the critical issues facing women in Sudan, focusing on gender-based violence (GBV), political participation, economic empowerment and humanitarian assistance. It highlights the efforts of women's rights organisations in Sudan and offers recommendations on how to foster a more comprehensive approach to supporting Sudanese women in their efforts to ensure protection and economic and political participation during and after the conflict, and reach a more feminist and sustainable peace.
Building on insights from a March 2024 event hosted by Saferworld at the 68th UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the briefing features analysis from five Sudanese women activists on the situation in Sudan, including Darfur.
