Tell me hablo, gabdho, haween... why Somali women don't band together and get this nation together?
Somali men are intent on marginalising women politically and they cite all sorts of dubious rules but at the same time, Somali women back home are the ones operating small businesses or even at times, doing manual labour.
So, if Somali women are forced to work in the public and private sphere, why on earth do we allow these males to sideline us politically?
When warfare happens, Somali men get killed, which is a dignified way to go, but Somali women and girls, are raped and left to suffer all sorts of physical, emotional and psychological scars.
Somali women are the ones left behind to raise and protect families. If we take a census, I bet Somali women are more than 50% of Somalia's population.
I say all this to say, Somali women must protest nationwide and fight to get 50%, not less, of ALL political seats in all Federal states.
