With one in every four women experiencing some form of gender-based violence on a daily basis in South Sudan, the United Nations Mission in the country has reiterated its commitment to working with communities across the country to combat the problem.

A team of United Nations volunteers have come together to touch the lives of the people they serve in South Sudan by embarking on a special personal donation drive to mark International Volunteer Day in Jonglei.

In an effort to step up the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS, voluntary counselling and testing was offered to mark World AIDS Day in Wau, in northwestern South Sudan.
