SRES 831 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution supporting the inclusion of the women of Sudan in United States efforts to end the conflict in Sudan.

SRES 831 is a non-binding Senate resolution calling on the U.S. government to ensure Sudanese women are included in U.S.-led efforts to end Sudan's civil war. It specifically urges the U.S. Special Envoy for Sudan to prioritize women's participation in peace negotiations, support women-led organizations documenting human rights abuses, and expand gender-responsive humanitarian aid. The resolution condemns the use of gender-based violence as a weapon of war and highlights Sudan's severe crises - including famine, mass displacement, and education collapse - disproportionately affecting women and girls. It references the Women, Peace, and Security Act to emphasize that including women in peace processes leads to more durable agreements. The resolution does not create new laws but directs U.S. diplomatic action to center Sudanese women's leadership in conflict resolution.
