Human Rights Watch published on 28 July 2024 a report titled "Khartoum Is Not Safe for Women! Sexual Violence against Women and Girls in Sudan's Capital."
The warring military factions in Sudan, especially the Rapid Support Forces, have committed widespread acts of sexual violence in areas of Khartoum over which they exercise control. These acts constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity. Human Rights Watch calls on the African Union and United Nations to deploy a civilian protection force in Sudan's capital.
