Eastern Equatoria citizens still face challenges in realizing their own rights, says Director-General in State Ministry of Social Development.
Reverend Johnson Sebit cites critical rights not being observed, Radio Emmanuel reports.
He notes blood compensation as common practices under customary laws that the ministry advocates to eliminate.
Reverend Sebit says the interim constitution recognizes the rights of women but inheriting property remains a concern in the traditional practices.
The Director-General was speaking on Thursday during a dialogue to commemorate International Human Rights Day in Torit, Eastern Equatoria State.
