(Security): Sudanese Women in Diaspora Speak Out About War

Organised by the Sudanese Community and Information Centre's women's branch, The Sudanese Women in the Diaspora for Ending the War conference at University College London emphasised the importance of agency, empowerment, and justice for Sudanese women.

Talks started with a political overview of the situation by political ethnographer and researcher Alex De Waal. This was followed by a tribute to the role of Sudanese women by journalist Peter Verney. Offering many odes and reflections on the revolutionary role of Sudanese women, Verney followed by decrying their contrastingly minimal role in the transitional government of 2020.

The war is currently entering its sixth month of violence and is adversely impacting women and children, who have endured high rates of displacement and sexual violence.
