The restoration of the beauty of Somalia is a choice.
Picture from a child of #Baydhabojanaay There is always two sides to a story, but please choose to seal Somalia’s future in unity and peace.The interlocking of separate opinions and throwing away the key for a better Somalia.

IIDA's door to door campaigns on drugs and substance abuse awareness, at the local community level, advocates for people especially the youth living with substance abuse addiction, to get treatment without fear of judgment and stigmatization.

Raising awareness is the first step in empowering the community in combating drug abuse. #DrugandSubstanceabuse awareness. #Dhusamareeb #Mogadishu #Beidoa

Promoting creativity & culture in children is paramount. "Somalia as seen through the eyes of children” are series of photo exhibitions by @IIDAafrica to encourage children in participating in artistic endeavors that show their perceptive, share their dreams of a better Somalia.

2 all the women out there; you have done it again! Take a moment, look at your achievements & be proud! It may be challenging sometimes but remember that with your struggle you R making the road smoother 4 other women & girls! Keep it up!

[Abdi Addow 🕊 @AbdiAddow1]

Minister @DeqaYasin is one of the most professional and technocrat in our government system. It’s a great privilege and honor for me to have worked with her.
Wish her all the best as I am hoping to see her back soon.

Women workers have suffered disproportionate effects from COVID-19. The time to act on gender equality is now. We must seize this moment if we’re to unlock economic gains for all.

[Rashid Abdi @RAbdiAnalyst]

By dropping Deqa Yasin from cabinet PM Roble caved in to pressure from the noisy traditionalists and Salafists in Parliament who hate strong women standing up for equality and dignity.

Deqa's troubles started when she came out against amendments to the Sexual Offences Bill 2018.

“After 20 years we need to change strategy. We needs to stop ticking the box, stop tokenism, we often go for quantity and don’t think about the quality of women’s participation.” @Boyassinhagi of @IIDAafrica on #WPSin2020 #KeyVoicesWPS

[Cordaid @Cordaid]

In the absence of an action plan for UNSCR 1325 in #Somalia, the pillars of the WPS Agenda have not been achieved, says @Boyassinhagi.

[Cordaid @Cordaid]

What is our plan as civil society in #Somalia? Are we looking at angles for how our groups go forward when working on the Women Peace and Security Agenda? @Boyassinhagi @IIDAafrica

"The phenomenon of shrinking civic space is a result of a direct effort to silence dissenting voices. We are those dissenting voices." - @keziehelen @TheWIPCentre

Parliament need to table and pass the SOB NOW @NUSOJofficial and @IIDAafrica #TimeIsNOW #StopRapeinSomalia

[SOMALI WOMEN AGENDA @swasomalia]

1 /3. We are alarmed by the growing incidence of rapes targeting boys and girls in Somalia. A 10 years' old boy was raped yesterday just 2 days after Hamdi (RIP) was gang-raped and thrown off a building! Who is next? #Stop rape #EndSGBV #enactSOB #TimeIsNOW

[SOMALI WOMEN AGENDA @swasomalia]

3/3. Like-minded MPs from both Houses of Parliament and civil society convened an urgent meeting yesterday to express indignation of this latest tragedy and asked fellow MP to give full support to SOB approved by the executive 2 years ago! #Stop rape #EndSGBV #enactSOB2018
