After the revolution, we wanted to understand if and how the transition process is reaching multi-marginalised women in Sudan—and if the newly emerging structures and actors can really better their lives and bring “Freedom—Peace—Justice” for those most in need.
Therefore, in December 2019, we set out for a participatory action research, interviewing multi-marginalised women and activists in seven Sudanese States, starting in IDP Camps in and around Gineina, West Darfur, along-side empowerment workshops with these women. Our aim was to find out how we and (other) multi-marginalised women can influence the transition process in Sudan such that the resulting structures are inclusive and assure that the needs and demands of multi-marginalised women are continuously reflected and met. Hence, Voices of the Margins not a desk study compiled by outside scholars, but the outcome of a participatory action research conducted by an activist group (partly) in their own communities, supported by consultants.
The study is published by Bana Group for Peace and Development in cooperation with KURVE Wustrow—Centre for Networking and Training in Nonviolent Action, supported by the Civil Peace Service Programme (Ziviler Friedensdienst)
