Abstract:The roles played by women during South Sudan's long liberation struggle (1955-1972 and 1983-2005) have largely gone unrecognized and undocumented. This collective volume documents the stories of the women in South Sudan. It contains chapters on women and marriage (Orly Stern), female combatants (Lydia Stone), survivors of sexual violence (Anyieth M. D'Awol), female sex workers in Juba (Jolien Veldwijk and Cathy Groenendijk), women and HIV/AIDS (Nada Mustafa Ali), the voices of mothers (Jolien Veldwijk), women in service delivery (Jane Namadi), women in politics and leadership positions (Asha Arabi), and South Sudanese women in the diaspora (Orly Stern).
