Kvinder, der er flygtet fra kampene i Blue Nile-området uden deres mænd, oplever i stigende grad, at de udsættes for vold, chikane og udnyttelse.
MABAN, 16. January, 2013 (IRIN): Mahasa* sits in the dust outside the hut she built herself, holding her youngest son in her arms.
The 29-year-old mother of four knows how vulnerable she is. “I am scared,” she said.
Mahasa is one of many women who have fled, unaccompanied by their husbands, to Maban County in South Sudan’s Upper Nile State, escaping the fighting in Sudan’s Blue Nile State between government forces and the rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North.
Mahasa’s husband is still in Blue Nile, fighting alongside the rebels.
She now lives in Doro camp, which houses more than 44.000 refugees.
There, she – like other female refugees – faces daily threats of harassment, exploitation and violence, and the persistent fear that, as a woman, she will be unable to provide for her family.
