| According to UN Women, at least one million women and girls have lost access to humanitarian and other critical support because of recent international aid cuts. Many local women-led organizations are now reducing their activities or are at risk of closing. This is especially worrying in fragile contexts, where women and girls are often the first to suffer when essential services are reduced: education, healthcare, protection, psychosocial support and livelihood opportunities. For Solidarity with South Sudan, this confirms the importance of continuing to invest in programmes that strengthen women’s participation, education and leadership. Through its work in teacher training, healthcare formation, pastoral accompaniment, trauma healing and community resilience, Solidarity supports women and girls not only as beneficiaries, but as active agents of change in their communities. In South Sudan, where access to quality education and healthcare remains limited, supporting women’s empowerment is not an optional priority: it is essential for long-term peace, dignity and sustainable development. Solidarity remains committed to accompanying women, girls and communities with hope, resilience and concrete opportunities for the future. |
