<p>According to OCHA, less than 60 per cent of children in almost two thirds of localities
in Darfur have access to basic education. Over half of all primary school aged girls
in West Darfur and 45 per cent in South Darfur do not attend school. In Sudan, the
UK supports education projects through the Common Humanitarian Fund. In 2013-14, CHF
funded projects reached 223,000 people across Sudan, the majority of which were children
in conflict affected areas of Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>Recent insecurity and displacement in both Sudan and South Sudan have
led to a further increase in women’s vulnerability and risk of sexual and gender-based
violence (SGBV) although there is a poor reporting of incidents. In Maban refugee
camp in South Sudan, there were 316 SGBV incidents reported in 2014. Domestic violence
remains the most widespread type of incident in the camp, accounting for 59% of all
reported cases, followed by forced marriage (11%), rape (9%) and attempted rape (5%).
Women in Maban refugee camp access SGBV prevention and response services including
counselling, case management and psychosocial support. The UK supports the provision
of these services through the UNHCR.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>UNFPA estimates
that around 44,211 women in IDP camps in Darfur are pregnant and in need of safe motherhood
services. An estimated 6,632 pregnant women are expected to develop a potentially
life-threatening complication during pregnancy or at the time of delivery, and may
require a Caesarean section.</p><p> </p>
