Children under five, including babies, are among victims of sexual violence in the war between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to findings shared on Tuesday by U.

Armed forces in Sudan’s civil war are perpetrating systematic sexual violence against young children, with one-year-olds the youngest survivors of rape, according to a new report from UNICEF, the United Nations’ (UN) children’s agency.

The first detailed account of the impact of rape on children by the UN agency documented over 200 rape cases against children in 2024

As conflict rages across Sudan, armed men are raping and sexually assaulting children, including some infants as young as one, according to the UN children’s agency (UNICEF).

Children as young as one being raped by armed men should shock anyone to their core and compel immediate action,' says UNICEF Executive Director Russell - Anadolu Ajansı

The United Nations say sexual violence against children is being used as a war tactic in a widespread manner in Sudan. Millions are at risk, according to a new report.

More than 30% of the child rape victims were boys, UNICEF said. The victims include 16 children under the age of 5 and four infants. The cases were reported in the states of Gedaref, Kassala, Gezeira, Khartoum, River Nile, Northern State, South Kordofan, North Darfur and West Darfur.

One third of di victims na boys wey dey normally get "unique challenges" to report di crimes and find di help wey dem need.

The United Nations children agency, UNICEF, said Tuesday that 221 children, including boys, have been raped by armed men since the beginning of 2024 to date. The war in Sudan broke out in April 2023 between the military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
