DWAG attended the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week to raise awareness about the dire situation in Darfur and advocate for justice and accountability in Sudan.
Our founder and president, Niemat Ahmadi, spoke on a panel about Sudan co-hosted by UN Women and the foreign ministries of Canada, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Niemat’s panel highlighted the dire situation in El Fasher, conflict-related sexual violence against women and girls, and accountability for crimes committed in Sudan.
DWAG also distributed letters to the president of UN General Assembly and the members state of the UN Security Council urging the prioritization of civilian protection, urgent delivery of humanitarian aid, and accountability for perpetrators and enablers who supply weapons to the warring parties.
