Operation 1325

PROJECTS IN SOUTH SUDAN

The security situation in South Sudan is very strained, the country is characterised by widespread poverty and strong climate impacts. Some progress has been made for women’s rights since the country’s independence in 2013, but there is still much work to be done for an equal society. Child marriage is common, as is the fact that women are subjected to physical and sexual violence. Women also have low representation in politics and economic decision-making.

However, the development trend in South Sudan is going in the right direction and the degree of gender equality is growing. For example, more and more women are included in the country’s peace processes.
