Find out where women around the world wield political power - and why it matters.
In the 2018 peace process leading up to the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan, 33 percent of the delegates were women, female civil society leaders acted as official observers, and women made up 20 percent of the agreement’s signatories. South Sudanese women were similarly represented in the 2015 negotiations, as 30 percent of the negotiators and 20 percent of signatories of the final agreement; female civil society leaders also served as official observers.
Women in civil society have worked across lines, broadened the negotiating agenda, staged mass action to advance security, and pressured all parties to implement the 2018 agreement.
