The Commission of Justice and Peace in the Catholic Diocese of Wau in collaboration with different Women Associations joined Wau Central Prison inmates on Sunday to celebrate the International Women’s Day.
Justice and Peace Coordinator Natalina Andrea Mabu told Voice of Hope that the Commission wanted to express solidarity to women prisoners during their Day.
She said the Commission also wants to be in contact with women through the prison administration to transform them into better citizens.
Many female inmates expressed their happiness during the International Women’s Day by sending messages of love and respect to help people avoid committing crimes.
Ten Women Associations’ representatives from outside the prison attended the celebration, calling for sustainable peace in South Sudan.
