Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Sudan<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>The governor of Western Equatoria State, Alfred Futuyo Karaba, has promised that his government will make sure that women will obtain their 35 per cent political representation, as stipulated in the revitalized peace agreement signed in September 2018.<\/p>\n

The governor made the promise during a one-day training for 35 female representatives of different political parties, organized by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan in cooperation with the non-governmental organization Nonviolent Peace Force.<\/p>\n

The training was organized to raise further awareness of women political rights, including their active participation in the implementation of the peace agreement, and to discuss how they can better cooperate and coordinate activities to make this happen.<\/p>\n

The female representatives at the event appreciated the training saying they want a government in which they can hold positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy about this opportunity to get together with women from different parties to discuss issues that are relevant to women across the country. We want the government that we are not only present but also capable of holding any political position,\u201d said Grace Appolo, representing the Sudan People Liberation Movement.<\/p>\n

Christopher Murenga, head of the peacekeeping mission\u2019s field office in Western Equatoria State said that the aim of the training was to offer women a chance to develop strategies for their effective political participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will stand by the women of this country to make sure that their voices are heard and that they are always part of the decision-making process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Western Equatoria is one of the states whose governors were appointed through the SPLM\/A-IO ticket.\u00a0The SPLM\/A-IO has also appointed women representatives to dominant positions such as to the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Health and also to governorship position in Western Bhar el Ghazal State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
