A shocking report from UNICEF reveals that more than 200 children, some as young as one year old, have been raped in Sudan since the beginning of 2024. The organization highlights that infants and young children are being subjected to sexual violence as a weapon of war in the ongoing civil conflict. Among the survivors, there are reports of one-year-olds who have suffered these abhorrent acts. The situation is further exacerbated by instances of sexual slavery, starvation, and shelling, leading to a devastating crisis for Sudanese children. The UN emphasizes the systematic and widespread nature of sexual violence against children in the region.
