An estimated 8.8 million people remain displaced across all 18 states of Sudan, and the recent intensification of fighting is driving new waves of displacement that further add pressure to overstretched services and host communities while contributing to widespread risk of gender-based violence (GBV). A joint mission confirmed that women and girls in Blue Nile displacement sites face heightened exposure to harassment and sexual violence due to unsafe living conditions and weak protection systems. The situation in South Kordofan remains volatile; after more than two years of siege, women and girls face compounding protection risks, including direct exposure to hostilities, heightened harassment, questioning at checkpoints, and detention. Deteriorating conditions lead to harassment, child marriage, and intimate partner violence driven by economic hardship.
In response to the significant needs, UNFPA reestablished its physical presence in White Nile and Darfur states, having paused operations in those locations in 2023, and rapidly scaled up the delivery of life-saving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and GBV services. In April 2026, UNFPA and its implementing partners collectively reached 77,570 people with SRH services across 17 states and provided GBV protection and response services to over 102,700 people, primarily internally displaced persons, across 14 states.
In 2026, UNFPA is appealing for US $129.2 million to respond to critical SRH and GBV needs in Sudan. To date, around 29% of this funding has been received, leaving a significant gap of US$92 million. UNFPA continues to call for urgent financial support to address the growing needs of women and girls across the country. ...
