What's it like being a female protester in Sudan?

Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has declared a state of emergency in an attempt to end a 10-week uprising that has threatened to bring an end to his 30 years in power.

Samar, Sara and Dallia have all been taking part in the protests against the Sudanese government.

But they say women protesters are treated particularly harshly; and they believe they are more likely to be targeted.

They tell us stories of seeing women being violently beaten. But they add they are determined to keep protesting.

The government denies using disproportionate force against protesters.
