Halima Adam Hassan, in red, with other women in Kalma camp, fled her village in March. She was a farmer, but says she now has no way to get an income. There are many reports that women have been sexually assaulted by the Janjaweed when they leave their camps to gather firewood. “The men won’t go out — they say they’ll be killed if they do,” says a U.N. humanitarian affairs officer. “It’s really all over the place. I wouldn’t say it’s improved.”
