Since 2007, SORD has combined participatory research, advocacy and community action so that women and men in Sudan can claim their rights.
SORD is a membership-based Sudanese non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to human rights and gender equality. We work with civil society and other stakeholders so that women and men in Sudan can actively exercise their rights and responsibilities.
Everything we do is grounded in a Humanitarian–Development–Peace Nexus approach that bridges the gap between short-term humanitarian responses and long-term development programming, with our three program themes reinforcing one another to build lasting resilience and feminist peace.
Research, advocacy and legal aid that challenge discriminatory laws and practices, including the Personal Status Law and child marriage, so women can participate fully and equally.
Marketable skills, economic services and support for women's groups to secure fair access to income, services and independent livelihoods.
Training and networking for civil society organizations, lawyers and media to strengthen accountable governance and drive lasting change.
From literacy circles and legal awareness to farms, kitchens and community meetings across Sudan.
