Sudan's Unseen War-born Children

A 17-year-old Sudanese girl and her family fled from besieged el-Fasher after violence erupted in Sudan. She was abducted and held captive by armed forces, resulting in her pregnancy and subsequent birth of a child.

Many children, including those born from sexual violence, remain undocumented and face significant challenges in accessing healthcare, education, and legal recognition.
