Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Gender Affairs Unit took a pivotal stride in enhancing women\u2019s representation in Bentiu by hosting a comprehensive two-day workshop for 50 members of civil society organizations (CSOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two days\u2019 workshop will enable women civil society organizations to know their participations in the civic and political space including permanent constitutional process and gender responsive electoral process,\u201d said Mrs. Edea Sharon Lelega, Officer of the UNMISS Gender Affairs Unit.<\/p>\n

The workshop, conducted in Bentiu on Thursday, encompassed pivotal subjects, including civic and political engagement, understanding the functions and obligations of CSOs, and cultivating relationships with governmental and security entities.<\/p>\n

This comprehensive approach aims to empower women, equipping them with vital tools to navigate the political realm and assert their rightful presence in decision-making processes.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Lelega emphasized the significance of grasping the intricacies within civic and political domains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough an understanding of these spheres\u2019 dynamics, the 50 participants can effectively advocate for increased women\u2019s involvement in permanent constitutional processes and gender-responsive electoral systems,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The initiative deeply resonated with Bentiu\u2019s women-led CSOs, echoed in the sentiments of Mary Nyakun Diew, Deputy Chairlady of the Bentiu Town Women Union.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are immensely grateful to UNMISS for orchestrating this workshop. It furnishes us with knowledge and confidence to push for the realization of the 35% quota, ensuring that women\u2019s voices resound across all echelons,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The workshop, orchestrated by UNMISS Gender Affairs Unit, saw active involvement from personnel within the UNMISS Protection of Civilians (PoC) Unit and the UNMISS Civil Affairs Division (CAD).<\/p>\n
