The South Sudan Democratic Engagement Monitoring Observation Program or SSuDEMOP in collaboration with the Voice for Change called on women to engage in peace process in the country.
SSuDEMOP Programme Manager Kinaro Joseph told Bakhita Radio on Wednesday that they brought together women from the grassroots in Juba to update them on the peace talks in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
He said the key women leaders were selected from Malakia, Gudele, Rock City, Jebel Yesua and other part of Juba town.
Mr Joseph said in many cases grassroots women were often neglected from in the country.
He said they want to hear from women and send their views to help guide the peace process in Addis Ababa.
Gender, Child and Social Welfare ministry official Betty Kiden Eluzai unveiled a plan to organize a one-day conference to bring together grassroots women to brainstorm on a way forward for lasting peace in South Sudan.
She said her minister and two other women are now participating in the peace talks in Addis Ababa to speak for peace in South Sudan.
Another women representative, Awatif Kape urged leaders to come down to grassroots citizens to enlighten them about peace and reconciliations.
