No Standing, Few Prospects: How Peace is Failing South Sudanese Female Combatants and WAAFG (HSBA Issue Brief 13)

Based on recent interviews and focus groups with a wide range of stakeholders in South Sudan, No Standing, Few Prospects: How Peace is Failing South Sudanese Female Combatants and WAAFG provides a preliminary review of the roles of southern women and girls in the Sudanese conflict, the specific threats they faced, and their involvement in and contribution to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). It also examines gender relations in South Sudan since the end of the war and the failure of the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) and relevant UN bodies in responding to their needs as part of a disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) programme.
