Support the International Criminal Court:Justice Now for the Women and Girls of Darfur
Thousands of girls and women have been raped and subjected to other forms of sexual violence in Darfur . Inquiries by the Prosecutor of the ICC identified "high numbers of…mass rapes and other forms of extremely serious gender violence", and a UN Commission of Inquiry found that these abuses amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. However, authorities in Sudan have refused to comply with ICC requests or otherwise allow the Court to conduct investigations in Darfur.
Support the International Criminal Court now!
