Nowhere to Turn - Failure to Protect, Support and Assure Justice for Darfuri Women

Nowhere to Turn amplifies the voices of some 88 women in the Farchana refugee camp, some of them breaking their si- lence for the first time. They spoke about the sexual assaults visited upon them both in Darfur and in the environs of the refugee camps in Chad, and about their lives and difficulties in the camp. The report reveals the profound stigma and physical violence to which many women have been subjected as a result of sexual assault. It portrays the tenacity and courage of these women who have protested gender discrimination and violence in a declaration they wrote proclaiming their lack of freedoms entitled the “Farchana Manifesto,” discussed in this report and available at www.Darfuriwomen.org.
