Happy International Women’s Day!
Across CARE globally and here at CARE South Sudan, women remain at the very heart of our mission. Every day, women lead change, inspire progress, and help build stronger, more resilient communities.
Did you know? At our Juba Country Office, six of our departments are led by women, and another remarkable woman leads one of our field offices. That’s leadership in action.
This International Women’s Day, it’s not enough to simply talk about supporting women’s leadership. Real support means ensuring women are empowered to earn, trade, and make decisions. When women have opportunities to generate their own income, they gain confidence, independence, and the power to shape their futures.
This is the spirit of this year’s call to “Give to Gain” when we invest in women and girls, we all gain stronger families, thriving communities, and a more hopeful future.
At the same time, we must speak out and call for an end to the escalating cases of Gender-Based Violence (GBV) across South Sudan. Women and girls deserve safety, dignity, and respect in their homes, communities, and across the country.
And honestly, we couldn’t say it better than some of your favorite South Sudanese influencers, who are lending their voices to this important message.
To everyone watching or reading this: comment below and tag a woman who has made a difference in your career or life — someone who inspired you, supported you, or helped shape your journey. Let’s make them feel recognized, proud, valued, and appreciated today.
Because when we give women opportunities, support, and respect, we all gain.
