Our latest piece covering the conflict in Sudan highlights the impact of #SexualViolence on women and girls, who are being deterred from reporting sexual assaults. As an organization dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the human rights of all women and girls, we condemn all acts of gender-based and sexual violence against women and girls, including as a weapon of war.

Our #YW4A South Sudan team, led by Beina Eveline, along with Peter Malir Biar and Tiop Paul from CAPAD, had a productive meeting with Hon. Aya Warile Benjamin, Minister of Gender, Child, and Social Welfare. We’re building a joint advocacy strategy for the anti-GBV Bill, with young women leading efforts to drive reforms and enhance their participation in public and civic spaces. The Ministry will help mobilise key government officials, and we are excited to involve more young women in shaping this process and their future!
