The Reality of Food Insecurity in Conflict Zones
In Sudan, where the civil war is raging, women are forced to surrender to the sexual interests of soldiers for food, reports say. Women fleeing war zones in Sudan say the only way to get food is to have sex with soldiers. A report from the city of Omdurman has been released.
A woman who spoke to British newspaper The Guardian said they were attacked at factories across the city where food was stored. 'My parents are both old and sick, I was not ready to leave my daughter for food, so I went to the soldiers by myself, the only way to get food was to have sex with them, they were everywhere in the factory area' - a woman who was forced to have sex with soldiers at a meat processing factory in May last year Said.
Another woman revealed that a soldier allowed her to take food, kitchen utensils and perfumes from an abandoned house and in return he used her sexually.Locals say they saw many women queuing up outside the locked house and soldiers came and took each one away. Loud screams could be heard at times. But they also ask what can be done. Another woman revealed that the soldiers burned both her legs for not giving in to their interests.
The government forces and the paramilitary forces have been fighting for a long time in the country. Tens of thousands of people were killed. More than one crore lost their homes. The country is on the verge of a famine.

In conflict zones around the world, women face unimaginable difficulties as they struggle to secure food, the most basic human need. The practice of exchanging sex for a living is a chilling reminder of the lengths to which women are forced to go in order to survive in these desperate circumstances. As a society, we must work together to support and empower these women, making sure they have access to the resources and help they need to live with dignity and autonomy. Only then will we be able to address the root causes of this deeply disturbing phenomenon and create a more just and equitable world for all.
