ABOUT WOJE
.
Welcome to Women for Justice and Equality (WOJE), where we are dedicated to advocating for the rights of women in marginalized communities in the Republic of South Sudan.
Our organization was born out of a group of grassroots women, including survivors of GBV, harmful practices, women living with HIV, and women migrants struggling with identity.
WOJE is committed to protecting and promoting the rights of women and girls, with a vision of creating a community where justice and equality are at the forefront.
Our mission is clear: we exist to promote social justice and create an economic environment for women, while preventing harmful practices and violence against women and girls through gender-responsive collaborative and participatory approaches.
Our goal is to improve the social justice system and practices from the grassroots level, supporting fair and responsive gender-focused judicial processes that promote women’s effective participation in decision-making and improve the economic status of South Sudanese women and girls.
At WOJE, our core values guide everything we do. We believe in integrity, professionalism, teamwork,
equality, equity, community participation, and respect for stakeholders, as well as sincerity, honesty, and reality.
Our aims and objectives are clear and ambitious. We aim to protect and promote the rights of women at the grassroots, advocate for policy change, and bridge the information gap between women in South Sudan.
We also aim to address harmful traditional practices affecting women, promote women’s economic empowerment, fight HIV and STIs, and protect the rights of women migrants. In addition, we are committed to carrying out emergency response programs in humanitarian situations.
Join us in our exciting journey to create a more just and equal society for women and girls in South Sudan.
Together, we can make a real difference
