What is SuWEP?

The women of Sudan have come along way in their struggle not only to be heard, but also to be a positive and lasting influence on both the CPA and the people in Sudan. SuWEP is an organization born in exile, and reflects this long struggle and what may have been achieved by the women of Sudan. Since its inception in 1998, where it brought the Sudanese women of both the Southern and Northern section together is working for the same goals. SuWEP has endeavored to develop the capacity of the women on the ground that would be able to promote both development and peace within their communities. Overall, SuWEP is a movement of Sudanese Women working to strengthen and empower women politically, socially, and economically.
