For fishing communities, the right tools can mean better catches, higher incomes and more food on the table.

Strengthening justice systems requires learning beyond borders. WART joined women-led CSOs from South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda at the BRIDGE Project Regional Learning Exchange Programme, where Executive Director Rose Abuk engaged with regional partners on legal aid, transitional justice and inclusive governance. A visit to Lang'ata Women's Maximum Security Prison provided valuable insights into rehabilitation-centred approaches that uphold dignity and support successful reintegration. The exchange reinforced the value of regional collaboration in advancing trauma-informed, person-centred legal services in South Sudan.

Violence thrives in silence, but informed communities are better equipped to prevent it. At Rumtit PHCC in Aweil West County, WART engaged expectant and lactating mothers, women and girls in interactive discussions on recognising gender-based violence, understanding prevention strategies, and accessing survivor-centred support services. By fostering open dialogue in a trusted health facility setting, the sessions strengthened awareness, encouraged timely help-seeking, and promoted safer communities for women and girls. The activity was conducted under the Mainstreaming Gender and GBV Prevention Intervention in the Joint Resilience Project in Aweil West, Centre and South Counties, supported by World Food Programme and KfW.

Protecting children and preventing violence begins with informed communities. In Canal/Pigi County, WART engaged community members, caregivers, women, girls and children in awareness sessions on child protection, GBV prevention and psychosocial support, strengthening understanding of available services, referral pathways and positive coping strategies. These efforts help create safer environments where protection concerns are recognised early and survivors know where to seek support. This work is part of WART's provision of lifesaving Protection and WASH services in Canal/Pigi County, supported by SSHF.

Preventing gender-based violence starts with open conversations that challenge harmful norms and encourage collective action. In Malual East Payam, Aweil North County, WART engaged community members in a GBV awareness campaign to address stigma, promote non-violence, and strengthen social cohesion.
By raising awareness and encouraging community dialogue, the campaign helped foster a more supportive environment where survivors can seek help and communities play an active role in preventing GBV. This activity is part of WART's efforts to strengthen resilience, food security, and social cohesion for communities affected by the Sudan conflict, supported by Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ) through Welthungerhilfe and NRC - Norwegian Refugee Council .

Understanding the barriers women face is the first step toward improving protection services. In Katieth Village, Nyal Payam, Panyijiar County, WART engaged women in an open discussion to better understand GBV safety risks, the challenges that prevent survivors from seeking support, and the realities affecting women and girls in their communities.
The dialogue also created a safe space to encourage reporting, raise awareness of available support services, and identify practical strategies for reducing protection risks. This work is part of WART's delivery of lifesaving protection services in Panyijiar County, supported by SSHF.
