Survivor testimonies
This archive will hold first-person accounts from Sudanese women who have lived through this war. None have been published yet.
That is a deliberate state, not an unfinished one. Testimony reaches this page only after a survivor has gone through a consent conversation in her first language, with no time pressure, with someone she trusts. Verification follows, on the standard I set out in How I document. Until a testimony has cleared both, it does not appear here.
I would rather show an empty archive than a fast one.
If you are a Sudanese woman or girl who wants to give testimony
The intake is off the platform, by design. There is no form on this page and there will not be one — a public form is not safe for the women I work with.
Reach me through one channel and I will answer you myself, in English, French, or Arabic. Signal is preferred; the handle is shared on request, never published.
Request the secure contact →The same channel reaches me if you want to give testimony on behalf of a sister, a daughter, a friend who cannot yet speak for herself.
What you can read today, while the archive is being built
- How I document — the consent, verification, redaction, and security standards that decide what reaches this page.
- Statements — DAR's public record of what she has said, when, and why.
- Women and girls under siege — the documentation case, with primary sources, for the violations these testimonies will speak to.
For researchers, lawyers, and journalists
Some testimony exists in my archive under redaction or under embargo while a case proceeds. Where that material can be made available for non-public work, research access is the route. I do not share files by unencrypted email.
