War has been raging for 11 months in Sudan. Amid the horrific wave of violence that has led many people to flee West Darfur, women and girls have described being raped, beaten, detained, and forced to witness the killings of loved ones by groups of armed men.

Between 1996 and 2000, former President Alberto Fujimori oversaw a family planning program under which more than 280,000 women and men were sterilized in Peru — mainly in poor, rural areas. Decades later, victims are still awaiting justice.
