Closing the week with @Abidaadam110 calling for women’s representation in Sudan’s peace negotiations, safe spaces to voice priorities & direct channels to decision-makers.
Women must help shape the peace they will live with.
#WPSNextGenAfrica#YoungWomen4Peace
@REWIB_Africa@steffi_verna@hon_kangwa In Sudan, government and institutions must ensure women's representation in peace negotiations, safe spaces to organize and express their priorities, and direct channels to communicate their demands to decision-makers.
@REWIB_Africa
@REWIB_Africa@steffi_verna@hon_kangwa In Sudan,women face limited access to peace negotiation, power structures dominated by political and military actors. We need inclusive peace processes, meaningful representation, equal access to resources, and real decision-making power for young women.

@REWIB_Africa@steffi_verna@hon_kangwa@keziehelen@REWIB_Africa. Tokenism is including women symbolically without real representation or influence. In a South Kordofan peacebuilding workshop, women were not invited initially. After a few sessions, the organizers invited only the women they selected, who did not represent women
@REWIB_Africa@hon_kangwa@steffi_verna@keziehelen meaningful participation means more than inviting young women to attend peace meetings or giving them an opportunity to speak. It means having the power to influence the agenda, shape decisions, and ensure that their priorities are reflected in peace agreements@REWIB_Africa

Hello everyone 💫
I’m Abida Adam, a researcher in peace and development studies, interested in women’s participation in peace processes. I hope we discuss how young women can move from being heard to shaping decisions.
