In October 2026, Hope Restoration South Sudan (HRSS) held community awareness sessions across Bor South County, Jonglei State, under the Renewed Women Voice and Leadership Project, in partnership with CARE Canada.
Four protection and GBV awareness sessions reached 250 community members, 100 from IDP camps and 150 from host communities. Topics included women’s rights, preventing forced marriage, gender-based violence prevention and response, and how to reach referral services such as psychosocial support, health care, the Protection Unit and the police.
Three WASH awareness sessions reached another 220 people. They covered handwashing, safe water storage and latrine use, so families can protect themselves from hygiene-related illness.
When communities know their rights and where to find help, women and girls are safer and more able to take part in decisions that affect them. Thank you to CARE Canada and to the community leaders and members who joined us.
