SUDANESE women have a history of political activism that goes back to the pre-independence era. After independence, Sudanese women were fighting to address post-independence challenges, including underdevelopment, lack of democracy, marginalisation, poverty and inequality.
Their public presence as protesters in the Sudanese political landscape varies but continues to rise, notably during Omar al-Bashir dictatorship and current regime.
Women activists across all ages in Sudan have been active actors in the toppling of the Bashir regime, a regime that lasted for 30 years, to be followed by a transitional period where a hybrid government (civilian, militia and military) was formed to rule the country.
