The situation in Dafur

Rape Used as Weapon of War in Darfur, Sudan
Girls as young as eight are being raped in Darfur, Sudan, and used as sex slaves. The mass rapes ongoing in Darfur are war crimes and crimes against humanity but the international community is doing very little to stop it. Urge the Government of Sudan to take immediate action to stop violence against women in Darfur.
