(DWN) is a non-profit organization founded by Darfur native Mastora Bakhiet to empower displaced women and vulnerable families to build peaceful and sustainable livelihood through education, social change and resiliency. Our Mission is to empower displaced women and vulnerable families to build peaceful and sustainable livelihood through education, social change and resiliency. Immigrants’ Support

in the United States

The DWN has several short and long-term goals. However, assisting families who struggle, in insecure situations, to procure their most basic needs is dire; therefore, we greatly focus on serving these survivors, because they need DWN to help them survive. DWN can efficiently work with these families since it is not hampered by the linguistic, cultural, and customary barriers other non-native organizations might face. One way DWN currently works to help enhance the security of families, and specifically women and girls, is by distributing fuel–efficient stoves. In doing this, DWN helps keep women and girls in safety zones, instead of having to journey far distances to collect firewood, journeying so far that they often take 17-18 hours to return, walking from 4 in the morning to 9-10 at night. These treks put them at great personal risk, including r**e, assault, exploitation, abduction, and even death. DWN’s dedication to reducing the vulnerability of women and girls helps eliminates such risks and saves lives. Empowered women are robust engines who drive strong, productive, and nurturing families and foster effective community peace-building; hence, the act of empowering Darfuri women will help their families, and therefore their communities. We promise to use awareness, education, and personal empowerment to assist the women of Darfur in rising above adversity and re-establish flourishing communities. DWN works to make the local and international community aware of Darfur, its women, and their needs. DWN would also like to make the Darfuri population aware of the global community, how it functions and where they can obtain assistance for positive growth. DWN sees education as the most effective and essential tool for the women of Darfur to achieve sustainable development, social change, and conflict transformation, whether they have remained in Darfur or relocated.

On behalf of the Darfur Women Network (DWN), we extend our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to our partners for your emergency support during one of the darkest and most traumatic moments in our history — the genocide committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in El Fasher on October 26–27, and continuing to this very day.
We also extend our appreciation to all individuals and partners around the world who raised their voices, organized gatherings, and stood in solidarity with the survivors of genocide in El Fasher and with the people of Sudan. Your compassion ensures that the voices of those who cannot speak for themselves are heard loudly and clearly. Together, we help keep their hope alive.
For more than two years, El Fasher has been under siege. Once a vibrant city full of families, students, and farmers, civilians became trapped without food, medicine, or shelter. Even animal feed—the last means of survival—disappeared. Mothers cradled their children with nothing left to give. Sadly, ElFasher became a graveyard for their dreams.

El Fasher: A Cry for Humanity
By Mastora Bakhiet, Executive Director, Darfur Women Network
I am honored to update you about our beloved civilians in El Fasher — though my heart carries a deep wound.
Thank you to everyone who has organized gatherings around the world, and to all who stand in solidarity and demand accountability. Thank you for standing with the survivors of genocide in El Fasher and with the people of Sudan. Together, we can keep their hope alive.
I speak to you as a daughter of Darfur — carrying the voices of those who are suffering, those who cannot speak, and those still struggling to survive. They walk with weak, starved bodies, filled with fear, searching for safety beyond El Fasher and beyond Darfur.
For more than two years, El Fasher has been under siege. Once a city full of life — of families, students, and farmers — civilians are now trapped without food, medicine, or shelter. Even animal feed — the last means of survival — is gone. Mothers cradle their children with nothing left to give.
The attacks have been merciless. Civilians are hunted like animals. The elderly and the wounded lie waiting for help that never comes. Now,El Fasher has become a graveyard of dreams.
This is not a civil war — it is a war on civilians, killed because of their ethnicity and their land.
Many have been killed, others wounded, and thousands have fled — weak, starving, and terrified — searching for safety. Families are separated; loved ones are missing. Their absence is an open wound in every heart that loves peace.
This is not only a tragedy for Darfur; it is a failure of humanity.
The international community has watched in silence as women and children are hanged, burned alive, or left to bleed to death. Villages are destroyed. Women and girls suffer brutal sexual violence. More than 450 injured civilians and six patients in the only hospital were executed — along with doctors, professors, and journalists. No one was safe.
Most of the victims are displaced people — survivors of the 2003 genocide — forced to flee again from camps like Zamzam and Abu Shoug, which were once supposed to be under UN protection.
We call on people of conscience around the world to pressure the United Nations, the African Union, and all peace-loving nations to investigate these crimes and hold those responsible accountable.
Where are the voices of moral leadership? Where are the nations that promised “never again”?
The International Community was silent during the genocide of 2003 — and it is silent again now.
