苏丹内战导致数千名儿童因缺乏父亲信息而无法获得法律身份,陷入"隐形人"困境。[1]这一现象在冲突地区尤为严重,许多在战争中出生的孩子因无法完成出生登记,而被挡在疫苗接种、教育和医疗服务之外。[1]
17岁女孩阿米拉的遭遇反映了这一危机的根源。[1]2025年初,她在逃离被快速支援部队围困的厄尔法舍城市时遭绑架,随后在塔比特地区被关押两个月期间遭强奸。[1]事后生下的孩子因缺少父亲身份信息,无法进行出生登记,阿米拉已为此苦恼8个月。[1]援助组织纳达基金会的记录显示,在其追踪的受害者中,90%是18岁以下的女孩,其中90%的案例涉及家庭拒绝正式报告性暴力。[1]
冲突本身加剧了这一困境。[1]苏丹自2023年4月爆发内战,快速支援部队与军方争夺权力,导致达尔富尔地区公民登记办公室关闭,民事服务体系陷入瘫痪。[1]尽管苏丹《儿童法》(2010年)允许非婚生子女进行登记,但战争造成的制度崩溃使许多儿童无法行使这一权利。[1]
Sudan's ongoing civil war has created a humanitarian crisis affecting thousands of children born during the conflict who lack legal identity documents.[1] Since April 2023, fighting between the military and the Rapid Support Forces has displaced millions and devastated civilian infrastructure, including the civil registration systems essential for documenting births.[1] Among the most vulnerable are children born to mothers who experienced sexual violence, who cannot be registered without paternal information—a requirement that leaves them trapped in legal limbo.[1]
The case of 17-year-old Amira illustrates the depths of this crisis.[1] She was abducted and raped while fleeing Al-Fasher, a city in Darfur that had been besieged for 18 months before falling to Rapid Support Forces in October 2024.[1] After being held captive in the Tabit region for two months, Amira gave birth to a child for whom she could not provide paternal information.[1] Eight months later, she remains unable to register her child's birth, leaving the infant without access to vaccinations, education, or medical care.[1] According to the Nada Foundation, which documents such cases in conflict-affected areas, 90 percent of recorded victims of sexual violence are girls under 18 years old, and 90 percent of cases involve families refusing to formally report the assault.[1] While Sudan's 2010 Children's Act permits the registration of children born outside marriage, the collapse of civil services across Darfur has made this protection inaccessible to thousands of war-born children facing similar circumstances.[1]
