A. • Promoting Gender Equality

Gender inequality derails development and the movement will advocate for the equality of men and women in all crosscutting issues i.e. politics, economics and social issues.

B. Campaigning against domestic violence/ GBV

Gender-based violence (GBV) encompasses a wide range of human rights violations ranging from rape, domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment, trafficking of women, girls and boys and harmful traditional practices including female genital mutilation/cutting, early marriage, bride inheritance and others.

C. Fair political representation for Women

The women in Somalia are not equally represented in politics as men. Currently, we have 23% of women in political representation, which a good move for the country that is in post conflict situations. The movement will advocate for more political spaces for women to participate in politics.
