SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Financial Times - Time for Sudan to sign UN convention on women

8/5/19: Financial Times – Time for Sudan to sign UN convention on women

 In a letter to the Financial Times, Idriss Jazairy, the executive director of the Geneva Centre for Human Rights Advancement and Global Dialogue, called for the new leadership of Sudan to “end the stubborn anomaly of Sudan being the only Arab UN member state, and one of only three in the world, not to have signed the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.”

 Jazairy wrote the request as a follow up on Zeinab Badawi’s May 6 Financial Times opinion piece “Women, hopeful for change, are driving Sudan’s uprising.”
