Continue alarming situations in Fangak county, Jonglei State.

For the past three years , the floods in Fangak County's Jonglei State, have had a devastating impact on the local community. However, the floods have affected agriculture in the area, damaging crops and making it difficult for farmers to feed their families. In addition, many people have lost their livestocks, which were a crucial source of food and income for many families.

In response to this crisis, a group of women in Fangak have been heading to the swamps to collect water lilies to cook for survival. These women brave the treacherous swamp conditions and the risk of crocodile attacks in order to gather them.

Despite the challenges, the women of Fangak continue to fight for survival and provide for their families. Their determination and resilience are a testament to the strength and resilience of South Sudanese.

There is urgent need and increase of humanitarian emergency responses for the affected civic populations.

Very alarming situation!

Why keeping girls in school is a good strategy to cope with climate change

Why keeping girls in school is a good strategy to cope with climate change Education for girls brings numerous benefits when it comes to addressing the climate crisis. Oh, and it works for boys, too!

Allow a girl child as a boy to access quality education to break the glass ceiling.

A GIRL CHILD WITHOUT EDUCATION!

Why don't you educate me? I am not just born to make coffee and tea. My heart pains badly when I say this sadly. I would like to go to schools where other children get everything to know. You don't know how I feel when children carry bags, books and pens. I am just a small child who is so gentle and mild. At least now let me go to school because I don't want to be a fool. Then before you parents we will glow like pearls so at least now please educate girls.

Dear parents,

Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry young and more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. They earn higher incomes, participate in the decisions that most affect them, and build better futures for themselves and their families.

Dear society,

Lack of woman/girls Education is extremely detrimental to the society/family unit. Scaling down and focusing on what is important, the easiest way to start coping with need for success no ever road to success has ever been smooth, let us all value girls education and let it be accessible to all of them to clean and free their dirty brains from negative low esteem perceptions that “what a man can do, a woman can’t”.

Dear old husbands/men,

She is a child not a bride.
Give a her a pen not your p***s.
Ask for her books not her b***s.
Pay her school fees not her bride price
Give her education not your ej*******on

Let’s keep small girls at school and introduce to them to new rules.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD

Dat. 11th. Oct 2022

In 1995 at the World Conference on Women in Beijing countries unanimously adopted the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action the most progressive blueprint ever for advancing the rights of not only women but girls. The Beijing Declaration is the first to specifically call out girls’ rights.
On December 19, 2011, United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/170 to declare October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, to recognize girls’ rights and the unique challenges girls face around the world.
The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
Adolescent girls have the right to a safe, educated, and healthy life, not only during these critical formative years, but also as they mature into women. If effectively supported during the adolescent years, girls have the potential to change the world – both as the empowered girls of today and as tomorrow’s workers, mothers, entrepreneurs, mentors, household heads, and political leaders. An investment in realising the power of adolescent girls upholds their rights today and promises a more equitable and prosperous future, one in which half of humanity is an equal partner in solving the problems of climate change, political conflict, economic growth, disease prevention, and global sustainability.
Girls are breaking boundaries and barriers posed by stereotypes and exclusion, including those directed at children with disabilities and those living in marginalized communities. As entrepreneurs, innovators and initiators of global movements, girls are creating a world that is relevant for them and future generations.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by world leaders in 2015, embody a roadmap for progress that is sustainable and leaves no one behind.
Achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is integral to each of the 17 goals. Only by ensuring the rights of women and girls across all the goals will we get to justice and inclusion, economies that work for all, and sustaining our shared environment now and for future generations.

DID YOU KNOW?
Up to 10 million girls will be at risk of child marriage. The profound effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are putting girls at higher risk of early marriage due to a combination of economic shocks, school closures and interruptions in reproductive health services.
Almost half of primary schools in LDCs lack single-sex toilets an important factor in girls’ attendance – and more than two thirds are without electricity.
Girls are primarily victims of sexual exploitation (72% of detected girl victims), while boys are mainly subjected to forced labour (66% of detected boy victims).
The global internet user gender gap is growing, from 11 per cent in 2013 to 17 per cent in 2019, and widest in the world’s least developed countries at 43 per cent.
Globally, the percentage of females among Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) graduates is below 15 per cent in over two-thirds of countries.

ACHIEVE GENDER EQUALITY & EMPOWER ALL WOMEN & GIRLS
Empowering women and girls and promoting gender equality is crucial to accelerating sustainable development. Ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls is not only a basic human right, but it also has a multiplier effect across all other development area.
GLOBAL ISSUES
Gender Equality
Women and girls represent half of the world’s population and, therefore, also half of its potential. Gender equality, besides being a fundamental human right, is essential to achieve peaceful societies, with full human potential and sustainable development. Moreover, it has been shown that empowering women spurs productivity and economic growth.

WAYS TO GET INVOLVED

1. Share human interest stories, blogs and videos of girl changemakers, and the inspiring networks and organizations that are resourcing girls, letting girls lead, and strengthening services for girls. Let’s collectively amplify their leadership, actions, and impact to inspire others.
2. Engage government officials, policymakers and stakeholders to make more targeted investments that tackle inequalities experienced by girls, especially while accessing mental health and psychosocial support services in the face of conflict, forced migration, natural disasters, and the effects of climate change.
3. Engage key female influencers across industries to be the face of change we want girls to see as possible. Role models speak a thousand words. Let’s change the global conversation and public perception of girl leaders.
4. Amplify your commitment to raising awareness about and addressing factors that hold girls in your country and region back.

Alarming Floods in Fangak county, Jonglei State.
Floods in South Sudan have triggered an alarm for acute food insecurity across the country, Right now, an estimated 6.4 million people in South Sudan face acute food insecurity more than half of the country’s population. About 1.3 million children suffer from acute malnutrition, the deadliest form of hunger, exacerbated by the spread of malaria and unsafe drinking water connected to the floods. 1 million people have been affected by the floods since July; Jonglei State is at the heart of the devastation.

The isolated area of Old Fangak, north of Jonglei, is cut off by the flood water and depending on assistance delivered on a sinking airstrip. It will starve by the start of 2021. This project documents the devastation on three levels: natural disaster, food insecurity, loss of dignified living. Misery abounds.

Mothers & children face the deep waters to bring their children to health and safety. Broken families try to stay together but hunger forces the men to stay out in the flooded grassland fishing for survival. The last shred of hope kept by the community is shown by their dogged repair of the few dikes protecting their homes.

This new year, all farm animals will have died from drinking dirty water and the last leftover sorghum would have already been eaten in December. Starvation is looming. Pibor county, south of the White Nile, has already been declared to be likely in famine in 2021. Without much humanitarian assistance, Fangak county will follow suit because the raining season is close to be dropping with next few days. There is urgency need of increase humanitarian rapid responses in Fangak county.
