In partnership with the Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network), WOJE officially launched the "Integrated Protection, Mental Health, and Economic Empowerment for Crisis-Affected Sudanese Women in Juba" project under the Black Feminist Action for Sudan (BFAS) Emergency Support Initiative. WOJE will implement this project through its existing 3 Women and Girl Friendly Spaces in Juba.

About the Project:

Since the outbreak of conflict in Sudan in April 2023, thousands of Sudanese women and girls have sought safety in South Sudan. Many arrived with limited resources, separated from family, and without formal refugee status. They face protection risks, limited access to services, and psychological distress.

This project responds by providing:

🧠 Psychosocial support and mental health care
🛡️ GBV protection and referral pathways
🎁 Dignity kits to restore dignity and safety
💼 Economic empowerment through start-up kits and business coaching
📢 Advocacy to amplify the voices of Sudanese women

The project targets 100+ Sudanese women in Juba and runs until October 2026.

We were honored to have representatives from UNHCR South SudanMinister of Gender Child and social welfare _ South SudanSIHA Network, FIDASD State Ministry of Gender, Child & Social Welfare - CES Community Gender Desk, Gorom Community Leaders, SSWEA, POC Representatives, EARTH, and Sudanese women beneficiaries.

Thank you to Fondation CHANEL, Black Feminist Fund, and SIHA Network for making this possible.

We also would like to call upon the UN Agencies, international community and the world to to support the people of Sudan 🇸🇩 in this critical moment.

Together, we stand with Sudanese women. 💜

As part of a field monitoring visit, representatives from UNICEF and the Embassy of Germany met with Community Care participants to hear firsthand about the programme's impact on individuals, families, and communities. Participants shared powerful testimonies of how the initiative has transformed their lives by increasing awareness of services available to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), promoting peaceful conflict resolution through dialogue, and strengthening community solidarity. They also highlighted how the programme has encouraged families to keep girls in school instead of marrying them off early, while fostering positive attitudes that uphold the protection, dignity, and well-being of women, girls, and children.

These stories demonstrate the meaningful contribution of the Community Care programme in building safer, more inclusive, and resilient communities. By empowering community members with knowledge, promoting positive social norms, and strengthening local protection mechanisms, the programme continues to inspire collective action to prevent violence, protect vulnerable groups, and create an environment where every woman, girl, and child can live with dignity, safety, and equal opportunity.
