2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | The parties to the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in
the Republic of South Sudan made progress on the formation of the Revitalized
Transitional Government of National Unity. On 30 December, the President of South
Sudan, Salva Kiir, appointed deputy governors for six states. The incumbent
Transitional Government of National Unity was allocated Jonglei, Western Bahr
el-Ghazal and Western Equatoria while the Sudan People’s Liberation
Movement/Army in Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) was allocated Eastern Equatoria,
Lakes and Unity. On 22 January, Mr. Kiir appointed deputy governors from the Other
Political Parties coalition for Warrap, Northern Bahr el-Ghazal and Central Equatoria.
Significantly, SPLM/A-IO and the Other Political Parties coalition adhered to the 35
per cent quota for women in their appointments. The reconstitution of the Transitional
National Legislative Assembly and the appointment of the Council of States,
however, remained pending. The absence of county commissioners continued to
affect the provision of social services, conflict mitigation and humanitarian action. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3902323/files/S_2021_172-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender specific | participation | participation |

2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | The resumption of internal Mission travel – previously on hold owing to the
COVID-19 pandemic – enabled outreach and risk management on conduct and
discipline to continue in person. Field visits were conducted to Aweil, Rumbek, Bor,
Bentiu, Wau and Kuacjok, where town hall meetings were held on the prevention of
sexual exploitation and abuse and prohibited conduct. Meetings were held with the
gatekeepers of community-based complaints mechanisms in Yambio on 4 December
and Bor on 19 January. The Mission continued to work closely with the inter-agency
task force on the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse in South Sudan to
integrate risk management activities on sexual exploitation and abuse, prom ote a
common understanding of risks and enhance the coordination of mitigation activities.

2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | The security context continued to be dominated by localized and subnational
violence, with an overall increase in incidents compared with the previous reporting
period coinciding with the onset of the dry season. The linkages between local
conflicts and national dynamics continued, a trend that was further underlined by the
latest outbreak of violence in Maban. Macroeconomic pressure, political competition
for local administration positions, increased pressure on livelihoods and food price
increases were layered over pre-existing local and national fissures, spurring
localized conflicts. Central Equatoria remained the key hotspot for conflict -related
sexual violence, accounting for 53 per cent of the 11 incidents reported.

early December national and local authorities, in collaboration with civil society and
the United Nations, carried out nationwide awareness-raising activities on sexual and
gender-based violence throughout South Sudan. These included a joint campaign by
UNMISS and the national and state ministries of gender, child and social welfare to
denounce the stigmatization of survivors of conflict-related sexual violence, with over
200 participants attending workshops, focus group discussions and radio programmes
in locations across the country.

2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | UNMISS continued its good offices with the parties to and partners and
stakeholders of the Revitalized Agreement. These included several meetings between
the Special Representative and senior officials of the Revitalized Transitional
Government of National Unity and other representatives in support of the timely
implementation of the Agreement. The Special Representative also engaged with
regional envoys to coordinate and reinforce efforts. UNMISS supported a joint visit
on 23 January to training sites in Rajaf (Central Equatoria) and Maridi (Western
Equatoria) by the Minister for Defence and Veteran Affairs, Angelina Teny, the
Special Envoy of IGAD, Ismail Wais, the Interim Chair of the reconstituted Joint
Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, Major General Charles Tai Gituai,
ambassadors of States members of the African Union and representatives of the
Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring and Verification
Mechanism. The visit allowed for key government, IGAD and African Union partners
to gain first-hand knowledge and promote progress. On 28 January, the African
Union, IGAD and the reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission
issued a joint statement expressing concern about the slow implementation of the
transitional security arrangements and the lack of food, medicine, shelter and separate
facilities for women in the training sites. The partners recommended that the
Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity improve conditions, graduate
the necessary unified forces and publish their redeployment plan. They also called
upon the Presidency to engender the political will across all implementing
mechanisms to make up for lost time and implement the transitional security
arrangements in letter and spirit. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3902323/files/S_2021_172-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender specific | other | ssr, ddr, hr and others |
2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | UNMISS continued to engage with key political decision makers and women’s
networks on the need for improved implementation of the gender provisions in the
Revitalized Agreement. The appointment of three female Deputy Governors was a
step in the right direction, but the 35 per cent benchmark envisioned in the Agreement
remained unmet. UNMISS provided technical assistance to the Ministry of Gender,
Child and Social Welfare on a proposed affirmative action bill that, once adopted,
would reaffirm the legal requirements for the signatories to the Agreement to include
women at all levels and in all structures of government. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3902323/files/S_2021_172-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender specific | participation | participation |
2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | UNMISS continued to engage with parties to the conflict on the prevention of
sexual violence. In January, pursuant to the NAS unilateral communiqué issued by
Thomas Cirillo in September 2020, UNMISS delivered three remote training
programmes on conflict-related sexual violence to four senior NAS officials,
including the group’s designated high-level focal point on conflict-related sexual
violence, to enable them to disseminate knowledge among the NAS leadership and
field commanders. On 27 January, the senior leadership of the Joint Defence Board
signed the action plan for the armed forces on addressing conflict -related sexual
violence in South Sudan. The document – which builds upon the SSPDF and
SPLM/A-IO action plans issued in 2019 – standardizes efforts to prevent and respond
to conflict-related sexual violence for a three-year period until December 2023. Its

2,021 | February | 23 | S/2021/172 | Situation in South Sudan | UNMISS continued to observe concerning levels of sexual violence perpetrated
by parties to the conflict, self-defence groups or other armed elements involved in
localized violence. The Mission verified 11 incidents of conflict -related sexual
violence involving 16 survivors, including six girls. Victims, whose ages ranged from
13 to 50, were subjected to, inter alia, rape (1), gang rape (3) and attempted rape (1).
Incidents were attributed to SSPDF (6) and defected SPLM/A-IO Riek Machar
elements allegedly affiliated with government security forces (1), while unidentified
armed elements were responsible for four incidents. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3902323/files/S_2021_172-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender disaggregated | prevention | prevention |

crossfire between SPLM/A-IO and an unknown group. No attacks on schools or
health-care facilities nor any instances of denial of humanitarian access were verified
during the reporting period. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3902323/files/S_2021_172-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender disaggregated | prevention | prevention |

South Kivu, Kasai and Kasai Central, MONUSCO continued to encourage the
meaningful participation of women’s organizations and women leaders in peace
processes and conflict resolution initiatives. The Mission worked with women’s
organizations to continue mapping security hotspots in South Kivu and Ituri where
women and girls are at risk. The mapping was shared with the national security and
defence forces, as well as with protection actors to be included in protection
mechanisms. A high-level discussion was organized between women leaders for
peace, the Governor of South Kivu and the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Laurea te, Denis
Mukwege, to ensure women’s involvement in the consolidation of peace in South
Kivu. MONUSCO also engaged with approximately 200 FARDC and Congolese
National Police officers, young people and representatives of civil society
organizations, including 140 men and 60 women, to promote concepts of positive
masculinity for behavioural change throughout Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu, and

vulnerable, of whom 49.9 per cent are women and girls, 58.5 per cent are children
and 15 per cent are people living with disabilities. This increase in funds is the result
of a new surge in violence, especially in the eastern provinces, and increased food
insecurity, amplified by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some 3.4 million
children under the age of 5 have been recorded as acutely malnourished. The
structural lack of access to basic social services is a major aggravating factor that has

2,021 | May | 11 | S/2021/451 | United Nations Support Mission in Libya | On 2 February, UNSMIL conducted a joint mission with the United Nations
Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to the Judaydah detention centre in Tripoli to assess the
situation of women and children detained for their alleged affiliation with ISIL. At
the time of the visit, 39 women and 59 children, from Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia,
Iraq, Nigeria, the Syrian Arab Republic and Tunisia, were detained at the facility,
having been transferred in September 2020 from Misratah. Many had spent over five
years in arbitrary detention, with some children born in detention. On 11 February, in
cooperation with the Tunisian Embassy in Libya, UNSMIL conducted a mission to
assess the needs of the women and children held at the Mitiga detention centre in
Tripoli. A total of 14 women and 22 children had been held there for over five years
for their alleged affiliation with ISIL. Some of the children had spent most of their
lives incarcerated, while others had been born in the facility. Accounts suggested that
most of the women had been captured by unknown armed groups from Sabratah and
subjected to torture and sexual violence, including rape. As a result of UNSMIL
advocacy and cooperation by Libyan and Tunisian authorities, all the Tunisian women
and children were repatriated to Tunisia between 12 and 17 March. | https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/3926724/files/S_2021_451-EN.pdf | Juliet | gender specific | protection | protection |
