To enhance protection for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) in South Sudan, a workshop was held with participants from all 10 states in Juba on 21 August. Participants shared legal, health, psycho-social and safety challenges they faced in tackling GBV, which will form the basis of draft guidelines for care of survivors. Organized and funded by the UN Population Fund, the activity was also supported by UNMISS, UNICEF and the International Rescue Committee. Photo: UNMISS/Martine Perret. Click for larger image
