The Irony Of Refuge: Gender-Based Violence Against Female Refugees In Africa, Liz Miller
Human Rights & Human Welfare
The Sudanese soldiers and the Janjawid invaded her village. When she tried to escape, they gang-raped her. At that time, she was eight months pregnant and described giving birth to a dead baby afterward and being very sick.

Afterwards, her husband divorced her, and she now lives with the stigma of being a rape victim. She has been expelled from …
