Navigating Gender Equality in Sudan: A Transformative Perspective amidst Conflict (original) (raw)
2024, DIALOGUE ACROSS BORDERS Center for Arab West Understanding, Cairo, Egypt
In countries where Islamic law or sharīʿa is constitutionally mandated, women experience significant impacts on their lives in both the public and private sphere. In Sudan, activists from different currents work hard to elevate their legal status with regard to Islamic jurisprudence and solve the most urgent issues. This article describes their quest and invites readers to see the ongoing war as an opportunity, highlighting its potential to foster new and vital alliances. The experiences of displaced women residing in Cairo serve as compelling examples of women advocacy in conflict and post-conflict societies.

In countries that practice Islamic law by constitutional mandate, women's lives are severely affected both in the public and private spheres. Consequently, the different fe minist movements struggle to impose the gender perspective with varying results depen ding on the context. In this sense, it is possible to affirm that the role of Sharī’a in a na tional legal system depends not only on governance issues but on the level of acceptan ce or rejection of discriminatory measures and the alliances built to defend or contest them. In this article, a socio-legal study on the fight for equality in Sudan is featured ba sed on the feminist theory and the advocacy coalition framework. In addition to contri buting to the understanding of women’s agency in African Islamic countries, it illustra tes the complexities and challenges faced within the framework of the promotion and defense of the rule of law at the international level
Women at a Crossroads: Sudanese Women and Political Transformation
The ‘Arab Spring’ is a nuanced phenomenon of significance to African democracy and women’s rights in Sudan – north and south. Political transformation processes underway in post revolution Arab states simultaneously give voice to human rights advocates and rise to Islamist political groups. The reverberating trend presents a risk of deepening Islamist governance in Sudan and reinforcing patriarchal patterns of kinship in South Sudan. It also offers opportunity, north and south, for Sudanese women to form a common agenda, engage politically, promote a vibrant civil society, challenge human rights violations and develop a voice through participation. Given the Islamist upsurge in the region, a review of literature highlights what women in post-revolution Arab states have reported back in terms of the effect the popular uprisings have had on their rights. In light of the outcomes, approaches are advanced that will strengthen Sudanese women’s movements and better position them to exploit opportunity for progress in the period of political transformation on the horizon in Sudan and South Sudan.
Competing Perceptions of Women's Civil Rights in Sudan
2007
During the peace process in Sudan women were merely “guests at the table. The role permitted to women during negotiations was based on a perception of them as passive victims of war, not active players in politics and society,” says Anne Itto, one of few female ministers in the government. She calls the comprehensive peace agreement (CPA) signed on the 9th of January 2005 “a gender-blind agreement.”

Women were at the forefront of the protests that led to the ousting of the al-Bashir regime in Sudan in the spring of 2019. The way in which they raised their voices to create change epitomised their resilience and strength, with reports that at times women accounted for as many as 70% of protesters, despite threats and acts of violence and rape against them. However, fears remain that this largely informal participation will not be matched with equal voice and representation in the formal halls of power. As has occurred in a number of similar contexts across Africa and elsewhere, women often play an important role in driving political change, but are sidelined by the formal processes that follow.
