This project aims to support Sudan’s transition to a civilian-led, democratic, gender-equal state by addressing Sudan’s discriminatory legacy against women. This project contributes to legal reform, raises awareness on women's rights, provides support for women’s political participation, and trains youth on human rights and feminism to sustain reforms in the future. Inter Pares works collaboratively with local counterparts to deepen women’s political power in Sudan through engagement with transitional political structures and foster an environment that supports women’s inclusion and addresses the root causes of misogyny and patriarchy in Sudan. Project activities include advocacy, capacity-building and relationship-building.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved access to rights by women in Sudan; (2) enhanced participation of women and meaningful inclusion of gendered perspectives in Sudan’s political transition; (3) enhanced gender-responsive culture of democratic political engagement, understanding and discourse in Sudan; and (4) improved Sudanese civil society organizations and feminist groups’ effectiveness to collectively advocate for and advance women’s/girls’ rights.

Results achieved as of March 2022 include: (1) implemented public awareness of women’s political rights and participation using 43 TV shows and 47 newspaper articles; (2) produced 42 community radio programs to disseminate messages on meaningful political engagement entry points at the national /state level; (3) created four social media platforms based on women’s political participation, including one YouTube episode, two Tracks on Soundcloud, seven posts on Facebook and six tweets; (4) 119 members and leaders of major political parties and rebel groups (84 women and 35 men) participated in four seminars conducted in Gezira, Ghadaref states, Kassala and Khartoum, , to advocate for engendering their respective parties; and (5) Reached 99 advocates anddecision-makers through five workshops (one per state) on gendered discriminatory laws that hinder women’s participation in the public and private spheres.
