3253: ROUNDTABLE: Advancing Women’s Rights and Empowerment in South Sudan

Every year on March 8, the world marks International Women’s Day, a moment to celebrate the achievements of women and reflect on the challenges that remain in achieving gender equality.

In South Sudan, women continue to play a vital role in peacebuilding, governance, economic development, and strengthening communities. Yet many still face barriers such as limited political representation, economic inequality, gender-based violence, and restricted access to education and opportunities.

This Saturday, we will discuss the progress made, the challenges ahead, and what more must be done to ensure women fully participate in shaping the future of our country.

Join Sani Martin and our guests who are actively working to advance women’s rights and gender equality in South Sudan.

Guests:
• Ms. Nyalang Dhal Dhal, Chairperson, South Sudan Women’s Union
• Ms. Sarah Chat, UN Women
• Hon. Ishag Elia Ibrahim, Deputy Chairperson, Specialized Committee on Gender, Child and social Welfare, Transitional National Legislative Assembly
