Warning: This article contains details of sexual abuse that some people can find trouble

Armed men rape and sexually attack children as young as the Civil War in Sudan, says the UN Children’s Agency, UNICEF.

Massive sexual violence is widely recorded as a weapon of war in the country’s nearly two -year conflict.

But UNICEF report is the first detailed information about the impact of rape on young children in Sudan.

The third victim was the boys who usually face “unique problems” in a message about such crimes and the search for help they needed.

UNICEF claims that although since the beginning of 2024 it was officially reported about 221 cases of rape against children, the real amount is likely to be much higher.

Sudan is a socially conservative country in which a huge social stigma stops those who survived and their families are about rape, as well as the fear of retaliation from armed groups.

The UNICEF report provides a terrible window for children in the country’s civil war.

Perhaps his most shocking discovery is that 16 victims were under the age of five, including four babies.

UNICEF does not say who is responsible, but other UN investigations have accused most rape of rapid support forces (RSF), saying that RSF militants had a scheme of sexual abuse to terrorize civilians and suppress their achievements.

The RSF, which wages this war against its former allies, the Sudan Armed Forces, denied any violations.

“The most scale of sexual abuse we recorded in Sudan is staggering,” said Mohammed Chand Otman, chairman of the UN search mission when a previous report was published in October.

According to the data presented by international human rights groups, the victims of the RSF’s support were often aimed because they were black African rather than Arabic, apparently to expel them from Sudan.

The UN Humanitarian Reaction to Sudan is already underfined. Latest reductions in the US are expected to cut programs that help the victims even more.

Details in the UNICEF report emphasize the terrible situation.

“After nine at night, someone opens the door, carries a scourge, chooses one of the girls and takes her to another room. I heard the girl cried and shouted. They raped her,” – recalls Omy (not her real name), an adult woman who survived the armed men in the room with other women.

“Every time they raped her, this girl would return covered with blood. She still just a little baby. They only allocate these girls at dawn, and they return almost unconscious. Each of them is crying.

As a destroyed nation in the war, Sudan is one of the most difficult places on Earth for access to the services and workers of front lines.

A huge number of people displaced by war made women and children more vulnerable to the attack-three of the school-age girls not at school, the UN says.

The destructive result of these crimes is deteriorating that the victims have several places to seek medical care as many medical institutions have been destroyed, plundered or occupied by the warring parties.

Recent US assistance cuts can even jeopardize the limited services to protect children.

UNICEF provides safe spaces for children through a network of local activists who have created what is known as emergency response numbers to combat crises in their communities.

Activists greatly relied on American assistance, and most were forced to close, the Sudanese Coordination Committee reports.

Overall, the UN Organization, which deals with the protection of women’s rights, says that local organizations led by women are vital for supporting sexual abuse. But they receive less than 2% of the total financing of the United Nations Humanitarian Fund.

The BBC learned that at least one of these local groups known as “she’s” was forced to close when the US financing stopped.

This was not a big expense measured in tens of thousands of dollars, but allowed the work to reach about 35 survivors a month, said Suleim Elcholifa, a Sudanese human rights activist who ruled a government unit to combat violence against a woman and helped to organize a private initiative.

Those who raped armed men “have no luxury to be depressed,” she said to the BBC.

War requirements – search for food to escape – do not leave a place to fight the injury, she added.
