Abstract

This report looks at the factors that impact the vulnerability of youth who are migrants in Sudan and Ethiopia. Sudan and Ethiopia are important migration crossroads in East Africa, and routes through this region are characterised by a substantial risk of abuse. The study presents a statistical analysis based on more than 1,500 surveys collected in 2022–2023 in Sudan and Ethiopia. Thirteen characteristics (such as gender, nationality, smuggler use, and presence in Khartoum during the outbreak of conflict in Sudan, etc.) were analysed as variables that might affect the risk of experiencing a range of abuses, such as robbery, detention, and sexual violence.
