The ongoing war in Sudan is being waged on women\u2019s bodies, with rates of sexual violence increasing by 288 per cent in just one year, Aisha Hamad, advisor to former Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok on gender issues laments in an exclusive interview with Radio Dabanga. \u201cGender-based violence threatens approximately 12 million people in Sudan, she adds.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking or Radio Dabanga\u2019s programme Plain Speaking<\/a> <\/em>broadcast on Sunday, Hamad, who is also a senior researcher in peacebuilding and women\u2019s inclusion, asserts that \u201cgenuine peace in Sudan requires real transitional justice that places women in decision-making positions and acknowledges their suffering\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She emphasises that the necessary female participation in the peace process begins from the design and formulation of issues, not merely as a token representation. She stresses the need to integrate women\u2019s issues using gender-sensitive language, with a participation rate of no less than 40 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same interview with Radio Dabanga, she notes that women\u2019s presence is limited in decision-making positions within political parties and forces. She calls for holding accountable those responsible for the atrocities and violations that occurs in El Fasher and Bara, and for establishing mechanisms to ensure accountability. Effective in protecting civilians, she stresses that there is no military solution to this war, and no peace without gender justice and accountability for violations. She says that what is needed now is a broad civil front, encompassing all initiatives and groups, to demand an immediate end to the war and the establishment of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
