Sudan gender briefing

The aim of this gender briefing is to examine four countries – Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia and Uganda – that have, over the past decade, passed and adopted gender-progressive legislation and policies. Against an inventory of the existing, recent gender policy and legal progress made in each of these countries, this Sudan gender briefing will present a short analysis covering: the social and political context in which gendered laws and policies are being implemented in Sudan; an overview of the existing laws/policies that have direct or indirect implications for gender equity; a brief background of the major issues facing women’s rights and gender activists and an analysis of the women’s movement in each country employing the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) community activism guide.

This briefing was originally published by Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA).
