"Nowhere in Sudan is Truly Safe for Women”
Source: Global Fund Women
In Sudan, the crisis is staggering. After three years of conflict, humanitarian systems have collapsed. Sudan now has the highest number of internally displaced people in the world, and nearly half of Sudan’s population, 19 million people, face acute hunger. Women, girls, and historically marginalized groups are bearing the brunt of the crisis and make up the majority of those needing lifesaving assistance. Conflict and displacement deepen existing inequalities and often increase loss of income and education, and exposure to gender-based violence while limiting their access to medical assistance, caregiving support, and safe shelter.
Our partners in Sudan are providing food, shelter, and safety for women and girls daily in areas few other organizations can reach. Since 1989, Global Fund for Women has provided more than $1.2 million in flexible funding to more than 50 feminist organizations in Sudan.
A Global Fund for Women grantee partner shared what life looks like in Sudan today, and what it takes to sustain feminist organizing amid ongoing war and displacement. To protect her safety, we are keeping her name and organization anonymous.
