Women for Justice and Equality (WOJE) is a feminist advocacy organisation working towards strengthening and advocating for the rights of women in marginalised communities in the Republic of South Sudan. It grew out of a group of grassroots women, including survivors of GBV, harmful practices, women leaving with HIV and women migrants struggling with identity in 2016. The organisation was formerly known as Islamic Development and Relief Agency (IDRA), has been engaged in the protection of women and girls rights and hoping to grow into a vibrant advocacy movement for the rights of women and girls across Africa in future.
