Submission by the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa to the The United Nations Human Rights Council on the Escalating Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Sudan and the Urgent Need for Action
The humanitarian and human rights catastrophe in Sudan has reached unprecedented levels, with conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) being systematically weaponized against women and girls in the ongoing war. The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) Network submits this statement to the Human Rights Council under Item 2, urging immediate intervention to address this escalating crisis. SIHA is a regional feminist organization with over 200 women-led organizations as network members dedicated to advancing the rights and well-being of women and girls across the Horn of Africa.
