We leave southern Sudan today-on our way to eastern Chad (via Addis Ababa)
The women I am traveling with are beyond amazing. The finest companions imaginable. Amazing too are the women we have been meeting with. They traveled from all over Sudan-- from Khartoum, eastern Sudan, Darfur and southern Sudan. They are courageous, deeply committed, strong , smart women who have been doing important work within their various communities -- on issues of women's rights, education for girls, equal representation in government etc etc. Here in south Sudan following decades of war, with a new government and an election on the horizon, this is a time for struggle, networking, women empowering other women --and it is a time for hope.
