On Saturday, the roundtable on peace organised by the Political and Civilian Women Organisation (PWCO) in cooperation with the UN in Khartoum, called for more participation of women in peace-making. <\/strong>The chairman of Sudan’s Sovereign Council, Abdelfattah El Burhan, attended the roundtable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Addressing the participants, Sawsan Hasan, Head of PWCO Coordination Affairs, said the roundtable aims to actively strengthen the role of women in peace-making processes and support women's equal participation in the peace talks as stipulated in the Constitutional Document.<\/p>\n

“More efforts should be made to achieve a real peace. The roots of the problems should be addressed with a focus on the social dimensions and the unjust differences between the different regions in the country,” she said. “Therefore, we must work on nation-wide justice.”<\/p>\n

The chairman of the Sovereign Council, Abdelfattah El Burhan, stressed the need for women to participate in peace-making processes at all stages.<\/p>\n

Sudanese women not only deserve to participate in the peace negotiations, but should lead the peace processes, he said.<\/p>\n
