MSF: Sexual violence pervasive in Sudan beyond battlefronts

MSF warns that sexual violence remains a daily reality in Sudan, even in Darfur areas far from active fighting. Based on 3,396 survivor testimonies (2024–25), most assaults are by armed men—primarily RSF fighters—with ethnic targeting and brutal violence. Many victims were women performing routine tasks like collecting water or traveling to markets. The report calls for accountability and says the humanitarian system has failed to adequately protect survivors.
