Portrait of Anita (25) [not her real name] in a neighbor's home in in Bidi Bidi refugee camp, Uganda, on May 31, 2019. Anita fled to Bidi Bidi to escape violence in her home just outside Juba, South Sudan, in October 2017. She was already five months pregnant when she arrived in the settlement and had to have a C-section because of a dangerous birth. Doctors advised her to wait 3-4 years before conceiving again, but her abusive husband disagreed. He forced her to have sex with him and she conceived her second pregnancy. She consumed an herbal concoction to end her pregnancy, which partially induced a miscarriage but also made her quite ill. She received health care to complete the abortion and save 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.
