شاركت مساء أمس في الإحتفال باليوم العالمي للفتاة في السفارة البريطانية في جنوب السودان. الفتيات اللواتي تقلدن عدة مناصب في الدولة، بما في ذلك القطاعات الحكومية والبعثات الدبلوماسية والمنظمات الدولية.
إنها مسؤولية تقع على عاتقنا جميعاُ، ونحتاج إلى مراقبتها للتأكد من أن هناك معلمين مدربين تدريباً كافي لتقديم الخدمات التي يحتاجون إليها في قطاع التعليم.
الدولة لديها الكثير من السياسات والقوانين المعمول بها لتمكين المرأة، وحماية الفتيات والأطفال، ولكن مرة أخرى نحتاج إلى الإشراف والتأكد من تفعيل هذه القوانين وتنفيذها واحترامها.
إذا لم يكن هناك أمن، فلن نتمكن من تحقيق ما نريد تحقيقه، ولهذا السبب يعد اتفاق السلام هذا أمراً أساسياً للغاية، بجانب التنفيذ الفعال، وهذا مهم جداً لجمهورية جنوب السودان لأنه بدون السلام والإستقرار لن نتمكن من توفير الأمن اللازم وتقديم الخدمات التي يحتاجها مواطنونا.
