047_Nyuon William: Born in Civil War, Raised for Peace and Justice

Nyuon William is an accomplished lawyer and advocate for peace, gender equality and human rights. She joins us to share her journey growing up in the midst of Sudan’s civil war, being raised by parents who advocated and supported her education and her development path to becoming a lawyer. 

Her specialization includes reforms for women’s equality, as well as the youth, peace and security agenda. As a lawyer, Nyuon is a role model for women both inside her country and around the world. She uses her legal expertise in support of  the movement for equal rights and fair treatment of youth and especially young women. Nyuon’s humility and gentle manor disguise a woman of great resolve and commitment to reforming her country for the common good of everyone.
