Much is changing in Sudan, and women play an important role in the transition.
Some estimates say women made up two-thirds of the protest movement that ousted President Bashir last spring. Sudan’s transitional government appointed the first female chief justice in the Arab world in October, and the draft constitution requires a 40-percent quota of women in future hires.
“Women are really excited to play a greater role in the new Sudan… they are working towards achieving that with encouragement and help [from] the wider community,” says a Gospel worker we’ll simply call “Ida.” She serves in a significant leadership position within Sudan.
“Women have really stood up and they have started [taking] their first step. They’re making good progress; moving ahead and taking up roles, and fighting for their rights.”
