Women's Leadership and Political Empowerment

SOMWA works to strengthen women’s participation and leadership in public life, politics, and decision-making processes. We believe women should have equal opportunities to influence policies, shape national priorities, and contribute to the democratic development of Somalia.

Through leadership development, advocacy, communication training, and public awareness, we encourage women to participate confidently in political processes and take active roles in their communities. We also support efforts to increase women’s representation in elected positions and promote inclusive political systems.

Key Areas of Focus:

• Empowering current and aspiring women politicians and leaders.

• Developing public speaking, advocacy, and communication skills.

• Promoting women’s political participation and representation.

• Advocating for the 30% women’s quota.

• Encouraging inclusive, transparent, and democratic elections.
