Nowhere To Turn a Medical Study on SGBV in eastern Chad (Physicians for Human Rights)
In case you didn’t see this, it is a very important report by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) a Harvard based group. They  released the report in May 2009 on SGBV cases involving Darfuri women in refugee camps in eastern Chad.

The report is entitled Nowhere To Turn: Failure To Protect, Support and Assure Justice for Darfuri Women .  88 Darfuri women refugees spoke to a team of researchers and physicians about the misery, fear and discrimination that has resulted from their experiences of sexual assaults in Darfur and in Chad.
Among the 88 women refugees interviewed, 32 reported instances of rape. Of those 32 rape reports,
17 occurred in Darfur and a roughly equal number (15) occurred in Chad. And among the instances of rape reported in Chad, the vast majority occurred when women left the camps to gather firewood.
