Countless conflict-related rapes have occurred across South Sudan last year alone where fighting took place, reports International Committee of the Red Cross, ICRC.
The effects of rape and other forms of sexual violence in South Sudan for female victims are heartbreaking and long-lasting, it says.
One victim it has met was only four years old, says Committee.
It warns that sexual violence must not be a tactic exercise in conflict.
ICRC seeks to break the taboo that surrounds the victims and prevents women, girls, men and boys from seeking medical and psychological assistance.
