Sudan: UN Reports 76% of Women Feel Unsafe Amid Ongoing War

The study, based on 95 focus group discussions across 16 states, highlights pervasive fears of harassment, sexual violence, and physical attacks, especially at night. Women prioritise economic empowerment, basic services, and safe return to their homes, but funding for protection and health sectors remains critically low.
