What price are women paying for Sudan’s freedom?
Women leading the democracy movement say they are targets of rape and sexual assault
In 2019, protesters in Sudan rose up and toppled president Omar al-Bashir after almost 30 years in power.
The image of Alaa Saleh leading the protests dressed all in white became one of the symbols of the struggle.
And women have continued to play an important part in the movement for freedom ever since.
But some of them are now speaking out about the price they have had to pay to fight for democracy.
They allege that they have been targeted in an attempt to intimidate them off the streets.
And that they have faced the threat of sexual assault and rape.
This episode contains graphic discussion of sexual assault and violence against women.
