Portrait of Francine Uwimana (36) [not her real name] in her home in Kyangwali refugee settlement, Uganda, on June 5, 2019. She came to Uganda in 2003 from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was raped in the refugee settlement in March 2018 by a man she was later told was a police officer and HIV positive. She was able to access health care relatively quickly, including emergency contraception and HIV prophylactics. She did not get pregnant and remains HIV negative. 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.
