Thank you very much.

I have been hearing you talk about women's rights a little bit each time someone asks a question. So I would like you to focus on women's rights and the effect of the separation of South Sudan and the north of Sudan.

We had some guests from Sudan who suggested that the separation would result in undermining women's rights. What is the situation right now in regard to women's rights?
