This Jan. 12, 2020 photo shows 22-year-old Mayada, a tea vendor 7-months pregnant with twins, the result of a gang-rape by Sudanese security forces, in Khartoum, Sudan. Dozens of women were raped on June 3, 2019 as security forces attacked a sit-in protest camp in Khartoum, according to activists’ counts. Mayada wanted to end the pregnancy, but a pharmacist refused to sell her pills to cause an abortion. She hurt herself, lifting heavy objects and throwing herself off furniture, hoping for a miscarriage. She gave birth in March to a daughter, while the other twin, a boy, died. She doesn’t know the names of the men who raped her, much less which is the father. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)

In this Jan. 11, 2020 photo, Sudanese activist Dr. Sara Ali Abdulla sits on a chair in her home, in Khartoum, Sudan. Over the past year, activists have been steadily documenting rape victims. They believe it was a coordinated campaign ordered by the military's top leadership to crush the spirit of the pro-democracy movement. The trauma center at Khartoum's Ahfad University documented at least 64 rape victims. Abdulla managed to get out of the mosque compound. &quot;We heard women screaming and crying&quot; as they were raped, she said. (AP Photo/Nariman El-Mofty)
