More power to Sudanese women, but what an horrific picture of the oppression under which they exist.

And an overt example of the use of sexual violence as a tool of government-approved subjugation.

I saw this earlier and thought those women are amazingly brave. I do hope that things resolve themselves soon.

Flowers to all the women being attacked. I hope you are able to heal.

Good on them and more power to them.

Very brave women indeed! They need good men to stand with them. Unfortunately that is necessary.

This is why women's rights needs to be an international movement.

I have posted this to my Facebook page. Every day should be International Women's Day.

My husband is Sudanese and is sent videos from back home every day. It is truly shocking what is happening there and what is being done to innocent people.
These women are an inspiration Star
