H.E. Minister Amb. @KhadijaMakhzumi officially launched a high-level, two-day workshop in Mogadishu today focused on advancing Somali women’s leadership. Organized by the Somali Gender Equality Movement (SOMGEM), this forum brings together civil society and women leaders to bridge the gap between policy and practice. The Minister reaffirmed that women’s leadership is central to Somalia’s development, serving as the cornerstone of a resilient and inclusive society.
During her keynote, the Minister highlighted transformative legislative strides, including the 30% quota secured in the Electoral Law and Political Parties Bill. With the Cabinet’s approval of the GBV Prevention, FGM Prevention, and Family Affairs bills, the Ministry is institutionalizing protection and progress. We look forward to the practical recommendations from this workshop to further strengthen our national strategy for gender parity and empowerment. #Somalia #WomenInLeadership #HumanRights

A5. To achieve lasting peace, we must first discuss how inclusive we want our state building processes to be. When we talk about inclusiveness, what do we really mean? We need to find a balance between being inclusive and leaving out certain individuals. This is coz 1/4

A5. 5. Reconciliation is not a one-time event. It is a process that requires patience, trust, and the collective will of the Somali people. If we all commit to peace, lasting stability is within our reach. – at Nairobi, Kenya

A5. 3. Economic development and job creation are some of the most powerful tools for peace. A strong economy gives people hope and discourages them from engaging in conflict. Sports, job opportunities, and skills training programs must be prioritized. – at Nairobi, Kenya

A5. 4. Finally, we need to move beyond clan divisions and foster a true national identity. Somalia is more than just its clans—we are one people. Community-based initiatives like those led by the Yasmin Foundation serve as powerful models for peace-building and social cohesion. – at Nairobi, Kenya
SOMGEM retweeted
A5. 1. We need genuine power-sharing, one that ensures no single group dominates the political landscape. Without fair representation, instability will persist. We also need constitutional clarity—we cannot continue to have disputes over the roles of different institutions. – at Nairobi, Kenya
