Women return from collecting firewood to the Kalma IDP Camp near Nyala in Sudan's Darfur region. Hundreds of women have been raped while collecting firewood outside the camps, and African Union troops have begun escorting "firewood patrols" to ensure the women's safety. NGOs have also helped the women contruct more efficient stoves, thus lessening the need for firewood.
