The Women of Darfur

DateMonday, June 1, 2009 at 09:58AM

Human rights around the world are necessary for a sustainable future for us all.

 

The group Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has just published a report documenting the scope and long-term impact of rape and other sexual violence experienced by women who fled attacks on their villages in Darfur and are now refugees in neighboring Chad. This scientific study corroborates women’s accounts of rape and other crimes against humanity that they have experienced in Darfur, as well as rape and deprivations of basic needs in refugee camps in Chad.
