“The abductees – many of them children – were held as sex slaves for a month before they managed to escape. Several became pregnant. With no access to health care, pregnancy made some of the women severely ill. Others opted for life-threatening abortions.” Link to this post

Everyday women in Darfur live in fear of being raped, and beaten. Going for water and firewood is a necessity and a dangerous task. It’s during this time that many women and girls are attacked.

I can’t write about this anymore, I’ve grown tired of writing about a topic that so few people care about. I’m frustrated and feel small against the seemingly never-ending war in Darfur. I honestly don’t think people care. People are worried about things in their own lives (rightly so.)

People wonder how they will afford to heat their home, put gas in their car, and food on the table. Maybe it’s these thoughts that keep us from worrying about people so far away. With so many problems facing so many of us, maybe it’s too much to ask people to worry about yet another issue. Maybe once all the other problems improve, maybe then we’ll be able to focus on Darfur, I only hope there will be something left to focus on.
