A high-level meeting in Mogadishu on Wednesday highlighted the important role that Somali women play in peacebuilding and the political processes in the country.
The Minister of Family Affairs and Human Rights Development, Lt. General Bashir Mohamed Jama, along with the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) Ambassador Souef Mohamed El-Amine and Acting United Nations Special Representative James Swan agreed on this during their meeting.
In it, they emphasized the critical contributions women make to fostering stability, reconciliation, and governance in Somalia.
The discussion likely focused on empowering women to take leadership roles and addressing systemic barriers to their involvement in decision-making.
Their inclusion is seen as essential for sustainable peace and development in Somalia.
