Sudanese women have long endured the compounded effects of oppressive regimes, prolonged
conflict, and a deeply entrenched patriarchal social system. This system places women at the
bottom of the societal hierarchy, subjecting them to structural social and economic injustice and
unbalanced development. As a result, women face significant barriers, particularly in access to
education and leadership opportunities, which in turn limit their participation in public and
political life. The legacy of historical injustices—such as the systematic deprivation of education
and exclusion from decision-making spaces—continues to shape the lived realities of Sudanese
women today. While women are present in civil and political society, their engagement is often
constrained by the lack of access to feminist knowledge and tools necessary to critically analyze
their context and advocate effectively for change. Additionally, knowledge production and access
are often monopolized by women with specific privileges, leaving many others without the
resources needed to understand and challenge the dynamics of oppression that govern their daily
lives. Political and institutional structures further reinforce this marginalization by assigning
women to narrowly defined gender roles. This situation highlights an urgent need to create
spaces where women—especially young and emerging groups active in civil and political
society—can build their analytical capacities and gain the feminist tools, knowledge, and skills
required to transform their communities and advocate for gender justice.

As part of the second edition of the Young_Women’s_Democracy_Reclaim_Academy, Ta’ Al-Taa’neeth Feminist Association implemented a Feminist School for Young Women on July 10, 2025. The initiative aimed to equip young women with tools to analyze and understand the Sudanese context from a feminist perspective, recognize the challenges they face, and identify the intersecting forms of violence experienced during periods of conflict and peace.
