Closing Civic Space and Feminist Organising in Sudan
Between 2012 and 2018, CREA strengthened the lobby and advocacy capacity of over 50 Sudanese activists through its Feminist Leadership, Movement Building and Rights Institutes in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and East Africa. The Institutes’ trainings focused explicitly on the collective mobilisation of women for democratic rights. Despite the ongoing crackdown and closure of several civil society organisations by Sudanese authorities, CREA continued finding ways to engage with and include Sudanese feminist activists in its trainings.
