Status of Women’s Rights in South Sudan

Abstract: South Sudan's women's rights are the result of a complicated interaction between social, political, and cultural elements that have been moulded by years of strife and fluctuating government. Women in Sudan have historically had numerous legal and social obstacles, especially when severe interpretations of patriarchal ideologies and gender norms have been applied. The paper seeks to underscore the importance of women’s right and need to underline legal frameworks as a basis for promoting women’s right Specifically, the paper will identify women’s rights provisions in the international, regional and national frame works and modalities for implementation. It will also explore if the national frame works for women’s are aligned or are in conformity with the regional and Interntional Frameworks
