Is Somalia one of the safest countries for women in the Arab world?

[Al Adnani]

Unlike other Arab nations where women are honour killed for breathing too loudly, we Somalis treat our women pretty decently. There are female politicians, girls can go to school, and plenty of women own businesses back home. What do you guys think?

“Arab world”

 

[Qeelbax]

In some ways that is true

There are female politicians

“Safest” if your understanding of safe is a 99% Fgm rate

Somalis at there core of the society is very egalitarian however we are far from it nowadays.

Didn’t say they didn’t have a high fgm rate. I dont blame them as much as i blame somalis because i am somali and i think we should be better than these people.

So the majority of the countries that make up the Muslim world treat women poorly? Gee I wonder what OP is trying to imply

Not the Muslim world just the Arab world, it is one of our only flaws. Remember Arabs are only 300M people whereas the Muslim world is 2B

FGM is done by women. The only act of violence against women in Somalia is done by other women Subhanallah Somali men are truly the kindest and gentlest of men

You got to be trolling? Somalia is one of the worst places to be a woman. Somalia is one of the worst countries for women's rights, justice and gender equality. Women are sexually harassed, subject to FGM, raped and denied basic rights. Somalia is a living hell for women. Somali women are denied access to social and material wellbeing and welfare. The list can go on and on. Most Arab countries far surpass Somalia when it comes to women's rights and general well-being.

Somali women have been brainwashed and indoctrinated by Somali men to undergo FGM. No women will go out of her way to harm and damage her own body. Women who haven't done FGM are seen as ritually unclean and not suitable for marriage by Somali men back home. Most Somali women back home fear being outcast and having no marriage prospect if they don't undergo FGM. Most Somali men back home don't want that primitive ritual to end. Somali women have been mentally conditioned and indoctrinated to undergo FGM by Somali men.

Nope, it’s mostly propagated by the women mostly elderly. Don’t talk about stuff you don’t know about

If you ask any of those women in badiyo they will tell you women who don't get FGM are ritually unclean and no somali guy will marry them. These poor women have been indoctrinated and brainwashed by Somali men to undergo FGM. Stop denying the role Somali men play in FGM.

This doesn’t prove me wrong tho? Elderly women started this and propagated this, men don’t have much to do with it and just went along with it
