Take action
The documented record only matters if it moves the people who can act on it. You are one of them. Here is what makes a difference — roughly in order of impact.
1. Write to those with power
Governments respond to their constituents. The most useful thing most people can do is tell their elected representative that Sudan's women and girls are being failed — and name what you want done:
- a referral of the situation in Sudan to the International Criminal Court
- targeted sanctions against commanders credibly implicated in atrocities — on both the SAF and the RSF
- guaranteed humanitarian access, including to besieged areas like El Fasher
- survivor-centred protection and reparations
If you are in a country that holds a seat on the UN Security Council — France, the UK, and the US among them — your voice carries further still. Find your representative, write in your own words, and be specific about Sudan. It takes a few minutes.
2. Read the record, and share it
What is documented can be denied only for as long as it goes unseen. Read what is happening in Sudan, then share it — with your networks, and with journalists and officials who should be paying attention. A single share can put the evidence in front of someone who had not seen it.
3. Amplify survivors, not just the story
When DAR and the women she carries speak, share their words — our statements, and, as they are published, survivor testimonies. Amplify the voices of survivors over commentary about them.
4. Stay with it

We do not take sides between the SAF and the RSF. Both have been credibly accused of grave crimes against Sudanese women. Every action above serves one thing: accountability, applied without favour.
