The humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan has now eclipsed six months. Here’s what we know:
*
6
million
people
have
been
forced
to
flee
their
homes.
9
out
of
10
of
those
people
displaced
are
women
and
children.
*
*
More
than
100,000
women
are
pregnant
—
and
urgently
in
need
of
maternal
health
services.
80%
of
hospitals
in
the
region
have
shuttered
their
doors,
and
for
those
that
remain
open,
there
are
severe
shortages
of
lifesaving
medicines
and
supplies.
*
*
Sexual
violence
is
rampant.
4
million
women
and
girls
are
at
risk
—
and
nowhere
is
safe.
Reports
of
sexual
violence
have
come
from
residential
neighborhoods,
displacement
camps,
and
from
the
road
as
women
and
girls
migrate
to
safety.

In many rural parts of Sudan, women and girls like Haleema must walk long distances to grind flour for bread or to collect water and other essential supplies. These daily treks leave them vulnerable to sexual violence and harassment.

“We used to walk long distances to grind our grain. Women and girls faced harassment along the way – we had to run fast to avoid it, often spilling most of the flour,” Haleema told our team on the ground in Sudan.
Tired of the abuse, women and girls turned to UNFPA and asked for these resources to be closer to home — and thanks to your support, we delivered. We built a flour mill in Haleema’s village of Shanisha, saving her and her community time and limiting their exposure to violence.
Om , Haleema’s neighbor, said, “With this new mill, we can send even the youngest person at home to grind the grains. It takes less than 5 minutes now."
Your gifts make all the difference. Make twice the impact on the lives of vulnerable women and girls in Sudan and wherever help is needed most by making a 2x-matched gift today: [[link removed]]
