GLOBAL WEEK OF ACTION AGAINST GENOCIDE IN DARFUR

Dear Supporter,

Today, Darfur Women Action Group, in partnership with the Sudanese diaspora and friends of Darfur and Sudan worldwide, will launch our global week of action to protest the continuing genocide in Darfur and violence in Sudan. We have been joined by our committed friends in the fight, within the United States and others internationally to draw the world's attention to the ongoing genocide in Darfur and other crises in Sudan in order to demand an action.

Darfur: The Longest Genocide in History

The genocide in Darfur began 13 years ago and still continues today, affecting over 4 million people. Since 2003, over three million Darfuris have been forced to live in dangerous and deplorable conditions in internally displaced camps or as refugees in neighboring countries. In 2006, the United Nations reported that over 300,000 civilians had been killed; however, these numbers have not been updated in ten years and are, therefore, highly underestimated. Rape has been used as a weapon of war and women and girls remain the most targeted.

Sadly, the violence has recently escalated and has intensified more than at any time since the genocide began 2003.

The world may think that the crisis in Darfur has ended because it is not being reported in the news, but the truth is that over 460,000 Darfuris were displaced in 2013, another 500,000 were displaced in 2014, and over 233,000 people were displaced in the first quarter of 2015. In one day alone, October 31st, 2014, 221 women and girls were raped in Tabit village and the perpetrators suffered no consequences. This is not an isolated incident, but it is a systematic tactic and deliberate policy of the regime, which continues to use rape as a weapon of war in Darfur.
