Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The achievements and potential of Somali women in their country’s maritime sector were celebrated today at an event to mark the International Day for Women in Maritime.

“This is a day to celebrate the Somali women who contribute to the ‘Blue Economy.’ The current government has recognised their value and is committed to providing equal opportunities for women in the maritime sector,” Somalia’s Minister of Women and Human Rights Development, Khadija Diriye, said at the opening of the observance in the Somali capital, Mogadishu.

The gathering brought together various stakeholders from Somalia’s maritime sector, including the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), Federal Member States, international partners, the private sector, academia, civil society organisations and the United Nations.
