[Correspondence] Gender-based violence and displacement in Darfur's war

The war in Sudan has resulted in one of the largest and fastest-growing displacement crises of the 21st century. Gender-based violence is both a catalyst for displacement and a profound consequence of it. In Darfur, where communities have endured repeated attacks, women and girls face a collapse of protection that exposes them to severe and widespread sexual violence at every stage of displacement. This convergence of displacement and gender-based violence represents a serious public health emergency that demands urgent global attention.
