Million of women and girls in Sudan urgently need support and protection now. Please donate now. 

Three years of war in Sudan has created the world’s worst humanitarian and protection crisis for women and girls.

Widespread killings, mass displacement, and the systematic use of sexual violence have left more than 17 million women and girls in need of humanitarian assistance. Blockades and ongoing insecurity have worsened already dire conditions. Women and girls desperately need food, safe shelter, healthcare, and an end to the violence.

Sexual violence as a tactic of war is being used to inflict terror, humiliation, pain, and control over women and girls, and to oppress entire populations. 

There are documented cases of rape in front of family members, often accompanied with other forms of severe physical abuse, as well as violence against those attempting to intervene.

These atrocities are being carried out with no consequences for the perpetrators.

This is a war on women and girls.

How is UN Women supporting women and girls in Sudan?

In every crisis, women and girls bear the heaviest burden. UN Women’s solution is simple and effective: fund the women-led organisations already on the frontlines.

UN Women works across Sudan with more than 45 women-led and women’s rights organisations across 15 states, delivering protection, psychosocial support, and essential supplies as well as supporting women’s leadership throughout the response.

But most women-led organisations face severe funding shortages and ongoing insecurity.

Without urgent support, many won’t survive. Your support can make all the difference for women and girls in critical need.

Your donation today can help support:

• Protection services
• Psychosocial support
• Essential supplies
• Safety and healthcare access
• Women’s leadership in humanitarian response

In the world’s worst protection crisis for women and girls, this support is critical. Please donate today.
