The situation is different. The situation of women in the south is also very grave. Women are working very hard to promote their rights and their participation in politics, etc. I am less familiar with the women who do this work in the south, but the northern women consider that their struggle is intimately linked to that of the southern women.
The modicum of freedom they have obtained since the signature of the peace agreement was obtained through these concessions. It was recognized that Sudan is a multicultural country and that people of all religions must be accepted. Concessions were made because of that and because of the belief that people are all together in this, that it is a diverse society. But with the departure of the south, what people are saying is changing and there is a risk that the rights granted to women in the north will be abolished.
