Rejina Dipio (49) chops greens outside her home in Bidi Bidi refugee camp, Uganda, on June 1, 2019. In South Sudan Rejina was married to an abusive husband and had six children, all of whom died before the age of six. She left her home when violence broke out in July 2016 in Eastern Equitoria, South Sudan. On Rejina's journey a man with a gun raped her and the other woman she was traveling with. They crossed the river into Uganda the next day. In the aftermath of the assault Rejina contemplated suicide. 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.
