In this episode of the Gender Focus podcast, the team from Plan International and Plan UK share their insights working in South Sudan during the Covid-19 crisis.
They explain how existing gender issues hae been exacerbated by the pandemic, causing increased pressure upon the opportunities of girls and women. Observing that many projects were responding to sexual gender-based violence in the region, the team shifted their focus towards a range of prevention approaches.
It's hoped the project will empower women and girls through shared experience.
