Women of SudanThey are responsible for
taking care of the old, the sick, and the mentally ill
They stay in the house and are segregated from festivities
They do not eat until after the men of the house have eaten
Even if a Sudanese woman has a job and/or education she is still below the man in a household
Sudan Women ContinuedA common practice in
Sudan is female circumcision
A lot of pressure is put onto a twelve year old or younger girl to observe the ceremonies and practices of female circumcision
This pressure is also put on older women and their families as well
Female circumcision can lead to physical and psychological problems
Women of South SudanThey have more
freedoms then women of North Sudan
They are still under the men, but have more freedoms
Female circumcision is not practiced
Husbands of South Sudan will consult their wives of different things
