Sudan focus at Arab Film FestivalAfter the overthrow of Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir in 2019, the country experienced a brief phase of relief and hope. Two years later, the civilian government was deposed in a military coup - and in 2023, civil war broke out. This led to widespread violence, including rapes and massacres, and the displacement of millions of Sudanese. Rabab Baldo, activist and member of our network Feminists Connecting for Peace, will take part in the Sudan panel at the Arab Film Festival on 5 April 2025. |
Making peace processes more gender-sensitive
Our advocacy aims to create political impact and achieve a feminist vision of peace. The focus is on the implementation of key human rights instruments that form the basis for a peaceful and gender-just world.
Together with members of our network Feminists Connecting for Peace, we organise exchange and network meetings, offer training and workshops and work together on advocacy work and developing Feminist Peace Initiatives. An overview of these activities.
Since the signing of the peace agreement in Colombia with the FARC-EP guerillas, we have been actively supporting the participation of conflict-affected women in its implementation.
