Marchus Senesh Fellowships
I
am a gender and peace activist from Sudan. I hold an MA in gender and Development,
an MA in Rural Development and a Diploma in Research Methodology. Currently
I am working towards my PhD entitled: Engendering Displaced Persons: Survival
Strategies, The State and NGOs. My research focuses on the gender aspects
of displacement in Khartoum, Sudan. It analyzes different survival strategies
being employed by displaced persons in camps and how do they affect gender
roles and gender relations.
I am also a Founder, (with others), of the Gender Centre for Research and Training (GCRT) in Sudan, the first of its kind to address gender issues in conflict resolution, peace building and development.
