A group of unknown armed men on Saturday raped a breastfeeding mother in Wau.
The mother of nine-month-old- child was raped in her house at Hai Salam residential area of Wau, Radio Voice of Hope reports.
The woman says four armed men came to her house and raped her at night at around 12:30 AM.
She says she was raped in the presence of her children with whom they were sleeping.
She expresses disappointment over the incident.
Rape cases in Wau have been increasing since the beginning of June’s conflict in Wau, says Stephen Robo, Community Empowerment for Progress Organization or CEPO State Coordinator.
He condemns the act, saying raping of a lactating mother is more disappointing than any sort of abuse.
Robo urges the state government to improve security situation for people to celebrate Christmas without fear.
The rape case is the third of its kind within this month.
