✔️Registrations grew from 140,000 to 1.2 million in one year
✔️ Women's enrollment increased from 16% to 47%
✔️ 38,000+ displaced people in Baidoa received IDs in just one month

𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 📸 – Access to justice is a cornerstone of peaceful, inclusive and equitable societies.

In Somalia, many communities continue to face barriers to legal services and formal justice mechanisms. Through @UNDPSomalia and joint programmes, the @UN works with communities, police and justice institutions to expand legal outreach, strengthen public trust and improve access to justice for all.

From displacement to dignity. Hamso’s journey in #Bosaso is proof that resilience, opportunity, and determination can transform lives.

A powerful story of self-reliance and hope. 👇

Earlier this year in Somalia, I met women shaping peace, livelihoods & governance in their communities.

From advancing justice to informing policy & creating jobs, they are driving change that benefits everyone.

Progress is lasting when women lead.

When women lead, communities thrive.

From leadership and governance to entrepreneurship, media, digital inclusion, and peacebuilding, Somali women are driving meaningful change across the country.

In 2025, women strengthened their voice in decision-making, expanded economic opportunities, and helped build more inclusive and resilient communities

More than 3 million displaced people in Somalia still lack a unified legal identity.

In Baidoa, a fast, low-cost pilot led by @NIRASomalia shows that reaching displaced communities with legal identity services is possible—and scalable.

🎥Watch how this innovative model provides a blueprint for reaching millions more across Somalia.
