Summary
As Africa’s youngest nation embarks on the journey of
becoming a democratic state within the global political arena,
one of the most pressing questions is what South Sudan’s
government as well as the international community can and
should do in order to promote gender justice and ensure
that men and women enjoy the same quality of life, and the
same rights before the law and in their everyday existence.
Constructively and proactively addressing these crucial
issues within the early stages of the post-conflict reconciliation
and social cohesion agenda could contribute to setting an
important precedent through the building of a just socioeconomic
and political foundation upon which South Sudan’s
democracy could flourish.
