Call to include South Sudan women in leadership

Source: Radio Tamazuj

South Sudan UN Women Country Representative Rukaiya Mohammed has underscored the importance of dialogue in empowering women.

Mohammed expressed the sentiments during the three-day inter-generational dialogue on women’s leadership and political participation from East Africa.

The workshop held in Juba created a platform on breaking barriers for women in leadership.

 “The transition period has been extended for two years, so we say women should not sleep. We should strategize and take advantage of the momentum,” Mohammed said.

“We said the young can walk fast, but the elderly know the road. It is vital for young women to harness the wisdom of the elders, while the elders should value the creativity and energy of the youth,” she added.

The dialogue included members of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) from Kenya, Rwanda, and South Sudan, local MPs, and representatives from civil society organizations (CSOs).
