Prolonged armed conflicts, displacement, and refugee experiences have shaped the history of South Sudanese women. Women and girls bear the brunt of the successive civil wars since the 1950s. They are often subjected to gender-based and sexual abuses, intimidation, poverty, and unimaginable suffering by armed forces. However, amid war, displacement, and societal destructions, South Sudanese women find ways to improve their conditions and confront patriarchal tendencies, sociocultural, economic, and political challenges stacked against them.
