🚨 #GenderAlert | #JusticeForFahimaAndFarah
On 13 June 2025, in the town of Lascanood, near the disputed border between Somalia and Somaliland, two sisters - Fahima (16) and Farah Mohamoud (17) were brutally beaten and gang-raped by 25 men. Today, they remain in critical condition as their lives, futures, and dignity are in balance.
21 suspects have been arrested. 4 remain at large. After a short statement from the Mayor, silence fell. This silence is not just inaction — it is a betrayal because when those in power choose silence, they side with the perpetrators and deepen the harm done to survivors.
In Somalia, thousands of women and girls face rape, forced marriage, abuse, and impunity every year. The vast majority never see justice. Over 60% of cases are “settled” outside the formal legal system, denying survivors any form of redress, dignity, or protection.
The cases of Fahima and Farah must break this silence.
SIHA Network calls on the Government of Somalia and Lascanood authorities to:
🔹 Launch an immediate, survivor-centered investigation free from political interference
🔹 Ensure access to trauma care, legal aid, and safe shelter for the survivors
🔹 Enforce national and international protections; ratify CEDAW and the Maputo Protocol
🔹 Renew and implement the Women, Peace & Security Action Plan (2025–2027)
We further urge:
🟣 Women-led grassroots organizations and civil society to unite, raise awareness, and build a powerful network to fight sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Somalia
🌍 The international community to invest in and support women-led initiatives working on the frontlines
There can be no peace, no progress, and no justice in Somalia if women and girls live in fear of such abuse!
📖 Read, share, and actively advocate for the recommendations outlined in the full #GenderAlert to ensure that the call for #JusticeForFahimaAndFarah echoes across every platform, every institution, and every community in Somalia and beyond: https://t.co/fVQEPT1OyV

Most of them will be left without assistance like food, medicine and emergency shelter, if the ban on women working for NGOs continues.

Over 50%
That's the percentage of women working in civil society organizations in #Afghanistan.
The ban on women working for NGOs leaves them jobless and outside the key sector where they could be visible & hold leadership roles.

93%
That's the percentage of CSOs indicating that without women in their staff they'll be forced to cease operations fully or partially, according to a survey.
