The United Nations Human Rights Office released a report detailing 546 verified incidents of conflict-related sexual violence in Sudan. These incidents occurred in 16 of Sudan's 18 states from the beginning of the war in April 2023 until mid-April 2025.

The report documented 838 victims of sexual violence, the majority of whom were women and girls. Men and boys were also among the documented victims. At least 13 victims died, with most fatalities occurring after gang rapes. The youngest documented victim was nine years old.

Forms of sexual violence documented included rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, forced marriage, forced prostitution, sexual torture, and trafficking for the purpose of sexual violence. Almost a quarter of the verified incidents involved gang rape. The report indicated that at least 85 women and girls were held in sexual slavery and compelled to perform domestic labor or generate income. Additionally, at least 59 women and girls became pregnant or gave birth following rape.

Most verified cases were attributed to the Rapid Support Forces, its affiliates, and Arab militias. Incidents were also attributed to the Sudanese Armed Forces, affiliated security actors, the Joint Forces, other armed movements, and armed militias. The report states there are grounds to believe that some acts of sexual violence in Darfur, committed in the context of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population, may amount to crimes against humanity.

Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, addressed the findings. Türk stated, "Persistent impunity is clearly deepening harms and reinforcing cycles of violations and abuses." He added, "All perpetrators, including those exercising command responsibility, must be held fully accountable, and victims must be guaranteed access to effective remedy, including reparation." Türk also said, "This is a war crime and, if committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack, a crime against humanity."

Many ethnic Masalit victims from West Darfur reported attackers inquiring about their tribe before conducting rapes. Victims reported being told in 2023, "This year, all of you Masalit girls will deliver our children."
