Content_paragraphs:  There has been some progress in South Sudan on the women, peace and security
  
  agenda. Women leaders, from political parties and civil society alike, substantively
  
  participated in the negotiation process for the Revitalized Peace Agreement and  are
  
  also signatories to the final document. In 2018, several groupings of women
  
  contributed to and witnessed the process, including women representatives from the
  
  Government, the opposition, civil society and young people. For comparison, just one
  
  group, affiliated with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement, attended discussions
  
  in 2015. More recently, in June 2020, the Government approved the national action
  
  plan for the implementation of Security Council resolution 1325 (2000). Also of
  
  significance is the passing of laws against female genital mutilation, which
  
  contribute, broadly, to the prevention pillar of the women, peace and security agenda.
  
  However, other goals in the agenda remain unrealized, most notably full, equal and
  
  meaningful participation of women and a guarantee of their rights and protection.
