Permanent violence in the society. End of the war ,with now an
Independence; all must be rebuilt or simply built after the 25 years of civil war and neglect. Almost no infrastructure was ever developed in the South.
Continuous tribal clashes : 3000 person killed in Pibor area in
January , 800 in February - March 2012 and others displaced .
Division of tasks: the men keep the cows, steal the cows, fight for the cows. The women do everything else.
Official law of South Sudan. A woman is not recognized directly
in court of justice; she must be represented by a male .
The results: Division in the society men /women. Marginalization of the women:
99% women illiterate. Very few involved in politics. Very few involved in the
economy. Women have no self confidence. Population under humanitarian aid in
many places.
