The success story of a woman living with physical impairment at Mayen Abun IDP camp, Twic County, Warrap state. Mrs. Adhar Macham Barac, a representative of the people living with disability in Mayen Abun IDP camp in Twic county of Warrap state. She has been living with physical impairment since she was a child, and she faced many challenges as a result. “I have been ignored, neglected, and lacked support.
Ms. Ajok Deng Chol is a women leader in Mayen Abun IDP camp. She has seen firsthand the challenges that women and girls face in her community. Before Women for Change came to the camp, women and girls were often isolated and vulnerable to gender-based violence (GBV) and menstrual shame. They had no access to basic necessities like slippers, torches, menstrual towels, or clothes. This made it difficult for them to move around safely at night, and it also made them feel ashamed and isolated. The darkness at the camp made it difficult for us to move around safely at night, and the lack of menstrual towels also made us feel ashamed and isolated when menstruating," said the woman leader. "We were afraid to speak out about our needs, and we felt like we had nowhere to turn." She continued Women for Change has provided women and girls with the essential menstrual necessities they need to live safely and comfortably. They have also trained women and girls on GBV prevention and response. This has helped to reduce menstrual shame and the number of GBV cases in the community, and it has also given women and girls the confidence to speak out against violence.
