For years, South Sudan’s justice system has operated through a combination of customary, statutory, and religious legal traditions. The book examines how South Sudan’s plural legal system can be transformed to prevent discrimination and promote substantive equality. Judge Amum argues that judges must look beyond legal neutrality and recognize how gender dynamics can influence evidence, credibility, and access to justice. Judge Amum says survivors may require medical treatment, psychological support, safe accommodation, legal representation, protection orders, and economic assistance. Judge Amum says sentencing guidelines are particularly important because similar offenses can attract different sentences in different parts of the country.
