Amnesty International Exposes RSF’s Systematic Sexual Violence in Sudan Civil War

A new report documents widespread sexual violence by Sudan's RSF, highlighting war crimes and urging international action to halt atrocities and hold perpetrators accountable.

• Amnesty International’s latest report details 36 cases of sexual violence by RSF forces, including rape, gang rape, and sexual slavery, targeting women and girls as young as 15.
• The documented abuses occurred between April 2023 and October 2024 across four Sudanese states, including Khartoum and Darfur, as part of a deliberate strategy to humiliate and displace communities.
• Survivor testimonies reveal harrowing accounts of prolonged captivity, repeated assaults, and physical and psychological trauma, with many victims fleeing their homes afterward.
• A UN fact-finding mission corroborated the RSF’s responsibility for the majority of sexual violence cases, classifying these acts as war crimes and potential crimes against humanity.
• Amnesty International is calling for an international response to end the violence, halt arms supplies to the RSF, and hold its commanders accountable for these atrocities.
