School examinations in Sudan pose protection risk for children
Upcoming school examinations in Sudan pose huge protection risk for children as they move across conflict areas to sit the exams.
Plan International Sudan
Plan International Sudan has been working and operating for more than 45 years. Our goal is for vulnerable children and youth to realise their full potential in protective and resilient communities which respect and promote equality.
We work together with children, young people, communities, supporters and partners to tackle the root causes of gender inequalities, empower children and youth and effect necessary changes in policies, laws and practices.
There are many internally displaced people in Sudan as well as refugees from neighbouring countries due to protracted conflicts. In addition, the country’s economy is deteriorating, public expenditure on education and healthcare is shrinking and there is a high prevalence of child marriage and female genital mutilation.
We are committed to supporting vulnerable and marginalised children and their communities to be free from children’s’ rights violation, violence, gender inequality and poverty. We strengthen the ability of girls and young people to learn, lead, decide and thrive in their lives and communities.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
Our current priorities include:
- Securing children’s rights to a good start in life and a quality education.
- Protecting children from all forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence, focusing on female genital mutilation and child marriage.
- Supporting young people to learn skills, get good jobs and achieve economic security.
- Protecting children in emergency and conflict situations.
- Promoting the meaningful participation of children and young people in society.
The areas of Sudan we work in are Kassala, White Nile, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, North Darfur and Khartoum. We will soon be expanding to work in the states of Red Sea and Al Gedarif.
