Sweden Consulate Expresses Deep Concern About Rape Cases In South Sudan



South Sudan government and its soldiers have set an unprecedented record in which any government soldier who rapes a civilian can walk away scot free and be protected against any prosecution from the government of South Sudan.

Mr. Hans Henric the SWEDEN ambassador to South Sudan has expressed deep concern about the rape cases in the country and the lack of action from the government against the perpetrators of rape.

In his own words “I am also concern about many cases of sexual based violence in the country (South Sudan) and these must be prevented and action has to be taken.” He uttered the statement during the launch of the GBV (Gender Based Violence) under the umbrella of UNFPA.

“Our programs aim at ending GBV and child marriage. We want to reduce by five percent by the three years’ time frame, from forty five percent, to twenty percent in terms of child marriage prevalence. We would also like to roll out center as a multipurpose service point for people and survivors of GBV, health and psychosocial, medical legal services. The other aspect is to increase the maternal health and make sure there is a midwife at any birth” Mr Ochan the UNFPA was quoted by JUBA WIRE       TEAM saying those words in JUBA.

The best way to deal with the rape will be best dealt with the NGOs in which they will be synthesizing the community on actions to take to take and how to avoid situation that can lead someone to rape.
