Hi there,

As some of you know I'm not much of a runner! After various injuries and ops, I started the Couch to 5K App last summer and have to say achieving the 5K will be a challenge! At Rights for Peace, that I've been running for a few years, we are supporting victims from Sudan to access justice in what is a tragic war, completely eclipsed by all the other things going on.

Right now, countless survivors of the conflict in Sudan are suffering in silence. Women, children, and entire communities have faced unimaginable violence, with over 12 million forcibly displaced, 3.3 million as refugees. Many have endured atrocities, including conflict-related sexual violence and ethnic persecution. But for most, dignity and justice are out of reach.

Rights for Peace works to ensure that survivors can tell their stories safely, can regain dignity and agency by becoming advocates for their rights and can see perpetrators held to account. But they can’t do this alone—they need our help.

The ongoing conflict in Sudan broke out on 15 April 2023 and has become one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world. More than 25 million people—almost half Sudan’s population— face acute hunger because of the ongoing violence.

Support victims to gain access to justice, increased agency and dignity!
