Do you think Somali women will ever be allowed to dress according to our culture and tradition again?

Something like this instead of jilbab, full body hijab, and niqab that are not from our culture. Its still modest and you can wear a hijab with it outdoors if you want like in the first 2 pictures

I’m not sure if you have seen how girls dress in the evenings when they go out in Hargeisa.

 

[Bille]

Yes it's possible. But we have to destroy Al-Shabaab first and the elect a leader like Siad Bare.

 

[wonyluvr]

Ofc jilbabs only got popular recently.

I've always wondered and wanted to make a thread on it, but itsn't the face covering jilbaab just a Cultural Custom from the Saudis rather than anything since you never saw these things 25 years ago and it's very recent adoption.

It is, its a Saudi custom and pushed upon Muslim countries who could not fight back against the spread of Wahabism

As long as when this is implemented you guys dont become like turks and get onto us jilbaab ones

im joking but fr i wouldnt dress like this but i would love to see a cultural revival

All of these Arab customs need to go. We've had our own Islamic culture and traditions for centuries and we should return to that. There needs to be a strong effort for revival of our culture and traditions pre-civil war once Al-Shabab is purged.

Nah turks are different when it comes to people dressed like religious Arabs. We aint going that far but we should still push for and encourage our traditional clothing. It will also revive our traditional Somali identity.

As long as we have the freedom to dress like our great grandparents and the generations before them used to dress, that would be a good start and then it will continue to normalize from there.

I havent but if Hargeisa started the process then that's good news. Hopefully it continues to spread and become normalized again.

They still dress like that. I dress like that when I’m back home and getting something from
The shop. It’s not that deep tbh

These clothes were the clothes of women in the countryside where no one saw women
My awoowo told me that if he saw women, he would go to the men and say, “Today I saw women.
But in the cities, the xijaab was what women wore.

Women were even more visible in rural areas since they were mostly outside walking to wells, building Aresh and looking after livestock.

Geelgire men saw women, in particular the women of their sub clan whom they lived with in close proximity.
