"I now understand that protecting someone's privacy is just as important as documenting the incident itself. Ethical monitoring means recording facts without exposing the person behind them."

This reflection captures the essence of feminist monitoring: documenting evidence is not only about recording what happens, but about doing so with care and accountability.

Through SIHA Network's Training on Feminist Monitoring and Accountability in Mogadishu, Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Champions, community monitors, and women leaders from Mogadishu, Baidoa, and Hargeisa strengthened their capacity to document women's experiences safely and ethically. Participants also developed practical skills to generate community-rooted evidence that can inform advocacy, strengthen accountability, influence decision-making, and advance women's rights across Somalia.

In Sudan, conflict has disrupted education, livelihoods, and opportunities for countless girls. Despite this reality, through SIHA Network's vocational training programme, they are gaining practical skills in mobile phone repair, solar energy systems, air conditioning, refrigeration maintenance, and electrical work - giving them the tools to drive their livelihood forward.

For one participant, the experience was transformative: "I knew that I could achieve great things in the future. I was so happy, it felt like a massive victory." Her words reflect how this programme goes beyond technical training - it builds the confidence to pursue opportunities in fields where women remain underrepresented and dares participants to imagine a different future.

Young women’s voices are essential to building inclusive governance and lasting peace in South Sudan.

Our latest Annual Monitoring Report, developed under the Inclusive Governance for Peace Project: Promoting Young Women’s Meaningful Political Participation in South Sudan, explores the realities, challenges, and opportunities shaping young women’s engagement in political and decision-making spaces. Supported by the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (UNPBF) through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in South Sudan, the report highlights several key findings:

🟢 Young women are active agents of change, contributing to peacebuilding, advocacy, and community leadership.
🟢 Capacity-building, mentorship, and support networks are key enablers of meaningful participation.
🟢 Structural barriers, economic challenges, and safety concerns continue to limit young women’s access to decision-making spaces.
🟢 Meaningful inclusion requires moving beyond representation and ensuring young women have real influence in governance and peace processes.
