This program\u2019s long-term objective is to make women&#8217;s lives safer and to increase their influence on political decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Over the past years, PAX has supported women that have contributed as peace leaders. In South Sudan, it is not straightforward that such roles are fulfilled by women Together with local partners, PAX seeks to facilitate an environment that makes it possible for women to stand up against injustice inflicted upon them. Still, sexual violence is being used as means of power or weapon in conflict. Too often, perpetrators go unpunished. Our partner organizations in South Sudan, with the support of PAX, succeeded in positioning women in more and more local courts. In the future, PAX seeks to continue this, also at a national level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, women fulfill an increasingly important role in the peace processes that PAX supports. Women are being trained to function as peace initiators and learn how to make a difference at a national and political level. PAX connects local women with national members of parliament and facilitates exchange.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:black;\">Activities &amp; Results<\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span style=\"color:black;\">Lobbying &amp; Advocacy<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"margin-left:0cm;\"><span style=\"color:black;\">With local organisations, we lobby leaders to influence policy in South Sudan and abroad.
