Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

El Fasher

Contribution

My Lords, we know that the elections have been postponed. Women leaders and women candidates are already preparing for office. Sudan has a 35% quota for women but, while all this is happening, women are being maimed or violently threatened and are not being allowed to stand and be open about that. What is the penholder doing to ensure that we have women candidates, that women can win and that women will be part of the peace process—otherwise, there will be no stability at all in Sudan and other areas?
