Portrait of Sarah (37), in the curtained entrance to her home in Bidi Bidi refugee camp, Uganda, on June 1, 2019. She arrived in Bidi Bidi in September 2016 after fleeing violence in South Sudan, where her family led an upper middle class life. On their journey to the camp her husband was killed and she was raped by three men. The men were prepared to kill her as well but let her go after her children begged for her life. South Sudan and the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo likely top the list of the world’s most dangerous countries for women, as militant groups have used extreme sexual violence as a weapon of war in both troubled nations. Uganda has become a temporary home for women fleeing both crises, and currently hosts more than 1.25 million refugees. But abortion in Uganda is almost entirely illegal, leaving women who find themselves pregnant from rape with few safe options. Globally, millions of women who have fled their homes because of conflict or crisis also face systemic rape and the resulting pregnancies. Despite the clear need -- refugee women face among the highest levels of sexual violence in the world -- abortion services are almost nonexistent in refugee camps. "Why don't women raped in conflict have a right to abortion?" is a question that indicts some of the most powerful individuals and institutions, while zeroing in on the experiences and stories of some of the most marginalized people.
