3239: Central Equatoria Women Call for Real Political Inclusion

Radio Miraya Women’s Talk hosts Jacob Moyo and Viola Elias spoke with Diana Nunu Alison, Director General at the Central Equatoria State Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare, about women’s shrinking political space in Central Equatoria. They said the 35 per cent quota in the peace agreement is still poorly enforced, with women often replaced by men, due to male-dominated party structures, weak enforcement mechanisms, and social barriers like domestic burdens, harmful norms, intimidation, and gender based violence. Diana urged stronger civic education, women’s solidarity, and party policies that back women’s participation ahead of elections.
