Isis-WICCE has issued a report on women’s human rights violations in Sudan. The report found that,
“Though most women did not participate actively in the war as combatants, whenever
they were caught in crossfire by either side, they were subjected to the most humiliating,
brutal and traumatizing experiences. Apart from gang rapes often in the presence of
their husbands, women were bayoneted in their vaginas and young girls would have
their external genitalia especially the clitoris cut out. Experiences of such gruesome
torture and humiliation often resulted into mental and physical health problems.”
“About 40 per cent of war victims in southern Sudan have developed chronic lower abdominal pain and genital related problems that require surgical attention, a 2006 research report has revealed.
“Over 40 per cent having been beaten throughout the course of the war, while a significant number of them had bayonet, gunshot and severe tying injuries, which is locally known as rabutusa (Kandoya) inflicted on them by government soldiers,” the report reads in parts.”
When oh when are we going to take action to stop this atrocity?
