Today, in Sudan, rape as a weapon of war.

These are two generals who are fighting, two men, and who are the primary victims, women.

The women and children who fled the conflict are still paying the price.

Just a heads up before we go on, this episode contains details of sexual violence.

Staggering, horrific, trapped in a nightmare. In all the reports that have come out on Sudan's civil war, it's the scale of what's happening that looms the largest. It's forced more than 14 million people from their
