Also, the Government in its public service policies and the Labour Act, 2017 ensured equal participation and equal pay for women and men.
Para 54) On public awareness raising on the rights of women, the Government in collaboration with development partners, in February, 2020, organized a three (3) days South Sudan Women Leadership Conference to raise women awareness on the rights enshrined in the related Conventions. The participants were from all the ten (10) States.

Also, the Government and civil society organizations conducted awareness campaign workshops in Eastern Equatoria, Western Bahr El Ghazal and Jonglei, to explain to women provisions of the Convention on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
