The event aimed at reaching 10,000 participants both offline and online readers in South Sudan capital Juba.<\/p>\n<p>Nyahok Kulang, a 28-year-old Mangateen resident in Juba said she could by then reflect on women\u2019s relevance in peace building, days after the sensitization on UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appreciated the Active Citizen South Sudan for this opportunity. This will make it possible for some of us to embark on advocating for our participation in peace and security,\u201d she narrated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will now be able to influence some of my neighbours in the community leadership and even chiefs on importance of women participation in peace building process,\u201d Ms. Kulang added.<\/p>\n<p>The resident noted that since the training focused on the impact of violence on women and girls,their role in conflict prevention and peace building as women was full participation in such issues that would be crucial to build peaceful communities in South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToo often, women\u2019s roles are marginalized because they are not seen in leadership positions,\u201d Ms. Kulang said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen must be seen as leaders, not victims. Women participation must be viewed, not as a favor to women, but as essential to peace and security,\u201d Ms. Kulang added.<\/p>\n<p>United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, on women, peace and security, was adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council on October 31, 2000 after recalling other resolutions.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution acknowledged the disproportionate and unique impact of armed conflict on women and girls.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
