The iconic image of a young woman in a traditional white robe standing on a car roof with her finger in the air came to symbolise the role of women as vanguards of Sudan's revolution but many say their calls for equality are already being ignored.
Following the protesters' ousting of veteran autocrat Omar al-Bashir in April, women only hold two of the six civilian positions in Sudan's 11-member Sovereign Council, which will run the country for three years until elections take place.
