[|Primary Source 1]-Human Rights Watch conducted a study on Sudan over a full month back in 2010. The report told of the poor human rights conditions that are in Sudan. The fighting between the North and South is causing a hostile environment, which is contributing to the human rights issue in Sudan

[|Primary Source 2]-Amnesty International conducted an interview with Sudanese human rights activists, Ali Agab and Abdel Monim Elgak. Both men are tied into human rights issues, in Sudan, in some way or another. They tell Amnesty International about some of the difficulties they have with Sudan's human rights.

[|Women's Rights]-In 2008, Farai Chideya interviewed Ms. Melanie Teff, a worker for Refugees International, about her experiences with women's rights in Sudan. The Sudanese government is trying to bring up women participation in the country, which involves getting a minimum of 25% women into the government. It may take a while for Sudan to get better human rights, but they're taking a step in the correct direction.

[|Children's Rights]-In 2007, the United Nations released a report on the children's rights conditions in Sudan. Children in Sudan are being kidnapped, killed, raped, and even force into armed forces groups. The Sudanese government is encouraged to help stop such things so that the human rights in the country can get better.

[|Religious Freedom]-The constitution in Sudan states that the Sudanese people have religious freedom, in the South. In the North, Islamic law is accepted as a source of legislation. However, in both parts of the country, people are being imprisoned or killed from converting from Islam to another religion. There is little to no sense of religious freedom in Sudan, which affects the country's human rights.
