The Order of Excellence for Women (Arabic: وسام الامتياز, romanized: wisām al-imtiyāz) or Order of Distinction for Women is a state decoration of Sudan established on 16 November 1961 during Ibrahim Abboud's military government. It is awarded to Sudanese and foreign women who perform excellent services to the state or humanity.[1]

Background[edit]

The Order of Excellence for Women was established on 16 November 1961 by Ibrahim Abboud. It is awarded to Sudanese and foreign women who perform excellent services to the state or humanity.[1]

According to Sudanese law of 1961, the order is only given to women and cannot be awarded more than once unless after three years.[1] This period is reduced to one year for employees if they are referred to retirement. Similar to other orders and medals, it remains the property of the awardee, and their heirs as a souvenir but the heirs don't have the right to carry it. The order can be withdrawn by the head of state when a dishonourable act is committed by the awardee.[1]
