Ahead of tomorrow's #UNSC Open Debate on #CRSV, we remind Member States that protection of women's rights and women's participation in all conflicts and crises is essential, not just to end #CRSV, but to achieve peace.

Today, we stand with Ikhlass Ahmed, Coordinator and Founder of Darfur Advocacy Group, as she briefs the #UNSC at the #CRSV Open Debate on the scale of conflict-related sexual violence in #Sudan and the urgent need to support survivors. Watch at 10am EST: webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1k/k…

Women and girls in conflicts and crises are facing unprecedented levels of #CRSV. A strong, well-resourced UN mandate is essential to protect survivors, document violations, end impunity for all perpetrators, and truly deliver for women and girls on the ground.

At the #UNSC, Ikhlass Ahmed describes how #CRSV has become a hallmark of the war in #Sudan, committed by all warring parties against women and girls, particularly in #Darfur. “Hardly a day goes by without a new report of rape of a woman or girl.”

“Sexual violence is being used as an act of ethnic cleansing and potentially genocide,” Ikhlass Ahmed warns the #UNSC of the horrific reality faced by women and girls in #Darfur.

"Right now, without the UN, without any mechanism for civilian protection, we—frontline workers and local volunteers—are the only actors on the ground [delivering life-saving support]…But we are at a breaking point." Ikhlass Ahmed tells the #UNSC

At the Open Debate on #CRSV, Ikhlass Ahmed calls on Member States to take concrete action to end impunity for all perpetrators of sexual violence in #Sudan, emphasizing the need to #KeepEyesonSudan to prevent another genocide in #Darfur.

At the #UNSC, Ikhlass Ahmed’s message is clear: Women in #Sudan are “indispensable to achieving peace and ensuring justice for all survivors of CRSV.”

Powerful last words from Ikhlass Ahmed to the #UNSC, calling for an end to impunity for women’s rights violations in #Sudan—and in all conflicts and crises. #KeepEyesonSudan Read her full statement: wps.ngo/ikhlass
