Trauma Healing Workshop Supports 41 Sudanese Refugee Women and Youth in Uganda

Forty-one Sudanese refugee women and youth in Uganda received trauma healing and psychosocial support during a two-day workshop held on August 3-4, 2026. Organized by the Darfur Network for Human Rights, the initiative aimed to provide vital assistance to survivors of the devastating war in Sudan.

The training was delivered in two separate groups, with 20 participants attending on the first day and 21 on the second. The attendees are all individuals who have directly experienced the hardships and violence of the conflict in their home country and are now living as refugees in Uganda.

Many of the refugees participating in the workshop originate from Darfur and South Kordofan. These regions have been particularly ravaged by the ongoing conflict, underscoring the deep-seated trauma and displacement faced by the Sudanese refugee community in Uganda. The workshop offered a crucial space for healing and community support.
