UN leaders call for int'l participation in fighting sexual violence in Sudan conflict

United Nations, April 26 (UNI) Two UN officials are calling for more international engagement to combat sexual violence against women and girls in the Sudan conflict, a UN spokesman said on Thursday.
Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Joyce Msuya joined Pramila Patten, the special representative of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on sexual violence in conflict, to deliver the plea, said Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for Guterres.
"Their appeal comes as allegations of rape, forced marriage, sexual slavery, and the trafficking of women and girls continue to be recorded, especially in Khartoum, as well as Darfur and Kordofan," Dujarric said.
