Sexual Violence Continues in Darfur
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 2:23 PM

In a recently published report, Refugees International addresses the issue of sexual violence in Darfur.  The report, “Ending Sexual Violence in Darfur: an Advocacy Agenda,” criticizes the international community, but more particularly the Sudanese government for impeding the work of humanitarian organizations. Women seeking medical care were imprisoned before 2005. One of the recommendations is to ensure that sexual assault is included as an issue for any political peacekeeping groups.
