'Women raped in war-hit Sudan die by suicide' - BBC Africa

Warning: This story contains details some may find distressing. As the war in Sudan continues, some civil society groups have warned the risk of sexual violence in Sudan is so severe that some women are reportedly taking their own lives. Campaigners have told the BBC of several cases of women taking their lives, either after enduring sexual violence or to avoid it. On Tuesday October 29, a major UN report highlighted 'staggering' levels of sexual violence in Sudan, attributing the worst atrocities to the paramilitary RSF group. The BBC’s Ian Wafula sheds some light on the situation. #sudanwar Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetoafrica Website: https://www.bbc.com/africa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bbcnewsafrica/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bbcafrica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbcafrica/
