Description
The Network of South Sudanese Survivors (NoSSSU) and Remembering The Ones We Lost were funded by the Global Survivors Fund to implement a project advocating for rights of children born of war and their mothers. The script for the drama was written by Daoud Gideon, together with Okello Ivan Combon from the organisation Make Music Matter (MMM) and members of NoSSSU. The video was shot in the Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement in September 2023 and the majority of the roles were played by NoSSSU members.
This drama expresses the pain and suffering of the victims of conflict-related sexual violence and the children born of war. It is a call to end conflict-related sexual violence and to respect the rights of children born out of war.
