With CGT support, the WRRs can increase their capacity to assess more women in need. They provide essential care and serve as spaces for women to feel secure, allowing them to obtain necessary care, including access to lifesaving medications and operations. Critical training on psychological fire aid will also ensure WRRs are better equipped to address the vast mental health needs of those who come to them to help process their war trauma, loss of daily life routines, and domestic violence.

These WRRs provide care and foster a sense of community for those who have already lost so much and live under the threat of violence nearly every day. Women can come together in these safe species to engage in discussion and solidarity as they navigate this difficult time. As this conflict continues, CORE is proud of its renewed partnership with NIDAA and the incredible, necessary, lifesaving work they do.

“Sudan’s volunteers, organizations and mutual aid groups serve as a model for the rest of us. Despite the callousness and lack of support from the world to the worst humanitarian crisis, regular citizens have banded together to save their own families and larger communities,” shares CORE CEO and Co-founder Ann Lee. “As this conflict continues and the humanitarian needs grow in Sudan, CORE is honored to partner with NIDAA and the WRRs, which are the only safe space for many women who have survived this crisis,” says Lee.
