UNICEF has reported high cases of rapes and sexual assaults among children in the ongoing civil war in Sudan.

According to their reports, armed men have been raping and sexually assaulting children as young as one year old during the ongoing civil war.

The report highlights that mass sexual violence has been widely documented as a weapon of war in the nearly two-year conflict.
UNICEF’s findings reveal that 221 rape cases against children have been officially reported since the start of 2024, but the true number is likely much higher.

The victims include both boys and girls, with a third of the victims being boys.

The report also details the harrowing experiences of survivors, including young children who have been subjected to unimaginable abuse.

The use of sexual violence as a tactic of war is a gross violation of international law and has devastating consequences for the victims and their families.
