¶ … Society in Southern Sudan, much like all of Sub-Saharan Africa (of which it is not technically considered a part), is substantially shaped by ancient tribal attitudes and beliefs about the respective roles and rights of the two genders. Generally, Sudanese women still endure gender inequality that prevents them from being socially or economically dependent and that exposes most of them to violence inflicted by men both inside and outside of the family. Domestic violence is prevalent largely because Sudanese men belief that it both their rights as men and perfectly appropriate to discipline their wives physically. Because education and professional training are the keys to social independence, the fact that opportunities in those areas are still largely unavailable to most Sudanese women is a significant barrier in that regard. Meanwhile, the empirical evidence demonstrates that once women manage to obtain quality education and professional training, they are readily capable of improving their positions in society and overcoming the principal barriers to their social empowerment. On one hand, large numbers of Sudanese women (and of African women more generally) are still victims of long-standing societal attitudes and cultural beliefs about the inferiority of women that perpetuates their continued subjugation by men. As a result, they still face political and economic oppression, forced arranged marriages, and domestic abuse, among other social injustices affecting women in African societies. On the other hand, the increasing influence of globalization in general and of both African-based and international human rights initiatives has begun a trend of improving the situation of Sudanese and other African women. To a great degree, those changes are more evident in the younger generations by virtue of their differential exposure to information technology and to the global cyber community. Despite the persistence of those inequalities, these changes suggest that there is reason to believe that future generations of Sudanese women will overcome these challenges with much greater success than their predecessors.
S. government analysts report that the Sudanese have violated the border with the Central African Republic during various military expeditions (Sudan 2). Furthermore, although millions of Sudanese have been displaced by these civil wars, so too has it been forced to deal with large numbers of refugees from neighboring countries, primarily Ethiopia and Chad, seeking refuge from their respective conflicts as well (Sudan 3). According to these analysts, "Armed conflict,
Despite the political agreement, it did not result in any sustainable resolution due to the fact that while the Sudan People's Liberation Army endorsed the provisions with a clear focus on the self-determination solution, the regime in Khartoum underlined the importance of the unity of the country and the preeminence of the Shari a as the national reference law. Consequently, the peace talks reached a stalemate. The international community became
Alepho's mother is not so richly described like in Benson's case. Benson's attachment to his mother and his admiration for her and women in general is transpiring again in his stories about the war with the lion and the lioness. First, he presents his father's hero deeds who courageously fought the lion and killed it. His next story will be about the lioness and this time he will places
Slavery in Africa Introduction Throughout history, slavery in Africa has taken a variety of forms—from slavery stemming from the outcome of war, where enemies taken captive are sold into slavery, to debt slavery, plantation slavery and criminal slavery. For many African states, slavery offered an opportunity to boost their economies: Africans viewed slaves as commodities to buy and sell as well as free labor to work in the commerce industry (Austin, 2017).
The Convention on the Rights of the Child, established a legal and ethical instrument for promoting and protecting the rights of children. The International Community responded enthusiastically to the Convention, and that type of broad participating "symbolizes something very special about the Convention, something that gives it unique importance and authority." Carol Bellamy with UNICEF believes that this support for the Convention suggests that human rights, particularly child rights, have gained
relationship exists between difference of religion and the occurrence of civil wars within societies. The relationship between religious groups to society can be defined against the backdrop of war. Powerful emotions surround both conflict and military conflict (Yinger, 1946). A direct relationship has been recognized for several year regarding religion and violence. Students of organized religion "have frequently pointed out the ease with which most church leaders shift, at
