From survival to leadership: South Sudan’s youth on the frontline, rising up as architects of peace

To commemorate International Day of the Girl Child, Erin Ogunkeye welcomes South Sudanese activists Oyella and Agnès Comfort, whose commitment and work with the displaced and survivors of gender-based violence has been crucial. As war, early marriage, and education barriers devastate communities, these activists share with us the harrowing plight of girls in war torn South Sudan and their commitment to the country's youth. Their call to action is clear: global solidarity must not retreat. Their voices, grounded in persistence, demand that we listen and act.
