Driving systemic justice for women and girls.
We dismantle the barriers that block access to equality. Through dedicated legal advocacy, institutional capacity building, and direct survivor support, FIDA SS is actively shaping a more just South Sudan.
Our Vision
We envision a just South Sudan where women’s dignity, human rights, and total equality are unconditionally respected, fiercely protected, and continually promoted across every level of society.
Our Mission
To strengthen the capacity of women and national institutions to champion justice, gender equality, peacebuilding, and women’s participation. We achieve this through robust legal aid, precise advocacy, capacity building, and high-level policy engagement.
