. . .CONTEXTWhile a bit outdated, this map conveys the scale of displacement in Darfur. With 12 refugee camps in neighboring Chad, and countless IDP camps across the region, the magnitude of the crisis is quite clear. It is very challenging to get accurate data, especially on the number of IDPs as it is extremely difficult to track. As of 2021, there are an estimated 390,000 Darfuri refugees in Chad (ACAPS).

. . .LIFE IN REFUGEE CAMPSLife inside refugee camps can be grueling. Many refugees have been living in camps, with limited access to basic supplies; many teens and younger children have never known a life outside of a refugee camp setting. Rejecting long-term camp life, some refugees have attempted to return home to Darfur - only to flee new violence and land in on of the IDP camps or return to Chad.

. . .WOMENThe individual refugee experience is rarely heard, but that of women is often further suppressed. Please review the following short documentary describing and acknowledging female Darfur refugees' experiences living in a camp in Chad.
