In recent years, Sudan has undergone significant political and social changes following the April 15 War, along with severe human rights challenges. Amid these developments, the role of human rights defenders becomes a key pillar in protecting fundamental rights and freedoms and strengthening human rights principles and values. Human rights defenders play an independent and crucial role in monitoring violations and oppression carried out by parties to the conflict against civilians.
