𝗜𝗖𝗬𝗠𝗜: 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 – "When I began my career in the media, I found myself without a role model to inspire me. I wanted a mentor or hero in the field who could guide me and show me what was possible," says Leyla Abdi Mohamed, who is now setting an example for other young Somali women through her role as @RadioErgo's editor-in-chief and as the head of @SOMWIM1.

Let’s discuss on women’s rights, policy & electoral reforms as well as women, peace and security.

Somali women continue to contribute a lot to the country and #Somalia’s development, but are less privileged than their male counterparts.

It's 2026, and as of yet, no country has achieved gender equality.

At the current rate of progress, it could take hundreds of years for women and girls to have the same rights and protections as men.

#Somalia is highly vulnerable to climate change, with severe impacts on its agriculture, livestock, and human settlements. The country's geography, characterized by arid climates, makes it prone to droughts, floods and other extreme weather conditions.
