The founder of WADI, Salwa Elsadik, discusses the importance of the involvement of women in conflict resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The situation in Sudan, especially after the fall of a Gezira state at the heart of the country, has become highly volatile. The infrastructure is in ruins, and we\u2019re facing an economic collapse. People have been going without their salaries for 10 months. We\u2019re missing crucial agricultural seasons, pushing us towards famine. With large numbers of internally displaced people, housing costs have skyrocketed, making simple shelters without any water and electricity almost as pricy as New York rentals. Food and medicine prices are also rising.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coping strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s particularly bad in the western part of the country, in the Darfur region. Continuous fighting and killings are part of the region\u2019s harsh reality. And as we know, gender-based violence tends to escalate during war and conflict. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, we\u2019re actively educating medical staff in hospitals on handling and referring cases and encouraging the community to break the silence since the government&#8217;s structures are lacking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More often, parents are resorting to child marriage. They simply don\u2019t know how else to protect their daughters from being raped and getting pregnant. We\u2019re confronting those negative coping strategies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent example of our work with the community is our focus group discussions, which allow women to express themselves and develop positive coping strategies. These discussions should contribute to a dialogue about peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2-59x44.jpg 59w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Salwa-2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Salwa Elsadik, the founder of WADI.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conflict shifts gender roles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sudanese women have been fighting for equal rights for decades. Social norms that inherently favour men are dominant and consider women as less. Women have the right to work and study, but their voices remain suppressed, and opportunities are unequal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8216;Hesitant at first, men supported their efforts, noticing how it improved the dynamics in the community.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, women\u2019s participation in the workforce and education increased because of men migrating to work in the Gulf region. Their absence created space for women in Sudan, leading to more women working and pursuing a higher education.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We see the same tendency when conflict arises, as women take on roles that were predominantly assigned to men before, such as engaging in peace negotiations, taking leadership and resolving issues within the communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WADI recognises and amplifies women\u2019s efforts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Women in Sudan have shown incredible resilience. Our strategy is straightforward yet powerful: creating secure environments for learning, bringing women together, and boosting women\u2019s self-confidence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even simply gathering women for a traditional coffee can be very productive. These casual meetings resulted in women setting up community kitchens and organising childcare and informal schools. Since April 2023, educational institutions have been closed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, women are managing conflict situations. They\u2019ve taken the initiative to start helping to ease ethnic tensions between the displaced people and host communities. This is particularly empowering in contexts where men feel paralysed and incapacitated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although hesitant at first, men supported their efforts, noticing how they improved the dynamics in the community. Men started valuing women\u2019s roles in peace-building, indicating a shift in societal perceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Sudanes women.\" class=\"wp-image-7867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-546x363.jpg 546w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-373x248.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3-66x44.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.cordaid.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Kickoff3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Participants in a session organised by WADI in Sudan.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From humanitarian assistance to peace talks<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Focusing on humanitarian assistance addresses immediate needs and paves the way to a subtle introduction of the peace agenda. This is especially true during Ramadan when engaging in social work is customary. We go door to door, handing out essentials like sugar and flour, and seize these moments to discuss peace and social cohesion. It\u2019s a way to engage people meaningfully.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We used to work in Khartoum, but due to the conflict, we had to move to Sennar, which now has a significant displaced population. Understandably, they primarily sought life-saving aid. But locals often feel left out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8216;Our message is straightforward: recognise the efforts of women-led organisations in crisis resolution and support them to scale up their efforts to active mediation.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We have teamed up with a local family planning organisation (The Sudanese Family Planning Association SFPA), to fight sexual and gender-based violence and focus on helping both the displaced people and the host communities to ease the tensions. We tried to make them see beyond their immediate needs, initiating discussions among women, saying: \u201cMen initiate this war, and unless you get involved, it might never stop. So, you must prepare to talk about peace for your and your children\u2019s sake.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s all about preparing for a future where we can thrive, not just survive, with women playing a key role in building peace and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strong collective voice<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with the Diaspora Think Tank, we are pushing for more Sudanese women to be involved in upcoming peace talks. We have prepared recommendations for the African Union and the UN and shared our insights at the International Humanitarian Conference for Sudan in Paris on 15 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our message is straightforward: recognise the efforts of women-led organisations in crisis resolution and support them in scaling up their efforts to active mediation. Ensure that at least half of the peace process participants are women and involve them from the earliest phase of peace negotiations. Through advocacy efforts like this, we are linking local efforts with wider movements for a stronger collective voice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Written by Marina Manchkhashvili, communication officer in Cordaid&#8217;s Positioning and Communication unit.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supported by Cordaid through the Women\u2019s Peace and Humanitarian Fund, WADI increases women&#8217;s leadership, political participation, and involvement in peace processes in Sudan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7865,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"topic_tax":[35,13],"country_tax":[66],"class_list":["post-8804","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","topic_tax-gender-equity","topic_tax-justice-and-peace","country_tax-sudan"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
