Åkrar har slagits ihop för att skapa större odlingsenheter, där nyaThe intensification of agriculture during the second half of the twentieth century, has caused sever declines of farmland biodiversity, where loss of semi-natural habitats is one of the major drivers. To halt further loss of habitat and biodiversity, agri-environmental schemes (AES) are used to compensate farmers to use methods less harmful to the environment.

Sudan har sedan april 2023 präglats av ett brutalt inbördeskrig mellan Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) och Rapid Support Forces (RSF), vilket resulterat i en statlig kollaps och omfattande civil fördrivning. I detta sammanhang har konfliktrelaterat sexuellt våld (CRSV) blivit särskilt framträdande. Denna uppsats analyserar hur CRSV konstrueras i tre centrala internationella rapporter från FN:s högkommSince April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
