Farm Community Organization joint GOPA and giz - Yei River county in celebration of the international women's day. Women in Yei have proved to be the champions in fostering agribusiness in Yei, 80% of the agricultural related businesses in Yei are controlled by women, women take higher risks to access markets in Lasu, ombasi, Mugwo, senema and some parts of Morobo county to supply food to Yei town and Juba.

To add on, gender based violence remains a pandemic in Yei. Cases of r**e are now moving from the army to the hands of civilian perpetrators due to the vacuum of Justice caused by the insecurity around Yei.
