All children have the same rights. However, in reality, we all know that the world is not treating everyone in the same way. We know that some children are treated differently from others. This is a problem that many children experience in their everyday life.
It is also a problem when decisions are taken or when systems or structures are being set up that are intended to provide for all children, e.g. schools. Maybe the reality becomes too complicated or maybe we just have a general notion of children as a group. If we regard children as one homogenous group when we make our decisions we are likely to discriminate against some of them. Some children would need extra support to e.g. access school. In order for Save the Children Sweden to get a better understanding of which groups of children are discriminated against in southern Sudan, we conducted this study. It is our intention that SCS as well as other actors will be able to work against discrimination and design structures and systems that will support the rights of ALL children. We hope that this report will give you an insight into the different lives that children live in southern Sudan, so that you will be able to act in a way that is more appropriate to the reality of these girls and boys.
