A literature review indicated that suicidal behavior in Sudan was very infrequent. However, an assessment of suicidal ideation in two Sudanese groups of women demonstrated high levels, particularly in women in a displaced-persons area. In addition, the recent establishment of a Befrienders International volunteer service allowed anecdotal evidence of substantial suicidal behavior to be collated. These findings highlight the need for further professional and volunteer assistance with continuing evaluation and research concerning programs for this vulnerable population.
