DRC empowers refugee women in South Sudan
In Upper Nile State, South Sudan, women and girls make up 52% of the refugee population. Spread across four camps, these women and girls are particularly vulnerable to gender-based violence (GBV) and disenfranchisement. As the lead protection agency in Maban County, and the managers of Doro and Yusif Batil Refugee Camps, the Danish Refugee Council has begun a campaign to reduce physical and psychological abuse of women. This includes raising awareness about gender?based violence and inequality, as well as empowering women on issues related to their well-being and that of their families.
