SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Financial Times - Women, hopeful for change, are driving Sudan's uprising

5/5/19: Financial Times - Women, hopeful for change, are driving Sudan’s uprising, by Zeinab Badawi

Zeinab Badawi, an international broadcaster and chair of the Royal African Society, argues that “if the revolution fails the women of Sudan, it has failed the whole country.”

Badawi highlights women’s leadership of the Sudanese revolution, stating that women even outnumbered male protestors when the protests began.

Badawi notes that women were legally restricted under Omar Al Bashir’s regime, but women partaking in the recent protests have often participated without guard for their personal safety.
