Some Sudanese women and girls assert that men have sexually exploited them in Chad 's displacement sites.

Hundreds of thousands of people, most of them women, have streamed into Chad to escape Sudan 's civil war.

Aid groups have long struggled to combat the issue, citing a lack of reporting by women, not enough funds to respond.

The women said they just want to feel safe, adding that access to jobs would lessen their vulnerability.

The head official for Adre said police are not allowed inside the camps and asserted that allegations against them of exploitation were false.

One 19-year-old sought refuge in Chad after most of her family was killed or abducted in Sudan 's Darfur region last year .
