South Sudanese peace activist Rita Martin Lopidia Abraham received the 2020 Women Building Peace Award this week. “Part of the award will go towards helping orphans and street children in the South Sudan capital, Juba,” she said. Abraham has served as a delegate at the South Sudan peace talks in Addis Ababa and Khartoum. In 2018, she signed a peace agreement in the Ethiopian capital on behalf of the South Sudan Women Coalition for Peace. Abraham said the leaders of South Sudan have been slow to enact important parts of the peace agreement.
