Sexual violence against women and girls is happening all over the world. We just need to stand in and protect the women and girls, in my country Kenya where I come from this is something that is happening like everyday and money women and girls are leaving in fear because they are afraid to share what they are facing/going through. Can someone contact me so we can join hands to help the women and girls

It's so inhumane and a disgrace to all of us Africans. Lets unite to rebuke such acts on humanity. Lets rise up and pray for these innocent souls.

Conflict-related sexual violence against women and girls is widespread and systematic throughout Sudan. Ongoing conflict across the country, including in the Equatorials, has created a perilous situation of great insecurity for women and girls, exacerbated by a lack of accountability for sexual and gender-based violence. Widespread rape and sexual violence in armed conflict, while complex, can be attributed to a patriarchal society, and is reflected in the inferior status of women maintained by the State failed and its institutions, creating conditions in which these violations thrive.
