The Invisible Survivors, What Next for Women and Youth in South Sudan? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798233705502)

This book compliments current discussions on justice, reparations and reconciliation. South Sudan's peace processes failed because they treated inclusion as a box-ticking exercise while preserving the patriarchal, militarized status quo. Lasting peace requires radical reimagining: justice must be the foundation, not an afterthought. By centering the distinct needs of women and youth, through survivor-centered truth-telling, transformative reparations, and structural power-sharing, South Sudan can dismantle the architecture of impunity. The international community must abandon its complicity in stability at the cost of justice and invest in grassroots peacebuilders. As the author asserts - The real peace is not a book; it is a lived reality. Only by honoring this truth can South Sudan transition from a ceasefire on paper to genuine, inclusive peace.
