On Resolution 1325 Anniversary, Federal Government and United Nations Congratulate Somali Women for their Contributions to Peace and Security

Mogadishu(SONNA)-As the world celebrates the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, the Federal Government of Somalia and the United Nations today congratulated Somali women for their achievements and stressed the added value of their political participation and representation.

Spearheaded by women leaders and organizations, the ground-breaking Resolution 1325, adopted on 31 October 2000, was the first to recognize women’s leadership to achieve international peace and security and their contributions to conflict prevention and resolution, peacekeeping and peacebuilding.

“The women of Somalia have contributed immensely to the country’s progress and development. We call on federal and state authorities, political leaders, civil society groups, and international partners to uphold the centrality of Somali women in peace, security and governance,” said the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Somalia, James Swan.

“The current election season presents an opportunity to bolster women’s role in Somalia’s peace and political processes. We urge Somalia’s leaders not only to ensure the 30 per cent quota for women in the forthcoming parliamentary elections but also to fulfil the commitment to 30 percent representation of women in electoral management bodies,” Mr. Swan added.

Currently, Somali women account for 24 per cent of Somalia’s parliamentary seats.

Somalia’s Minister of Women and Human Rights Development, Hanifa Mohamed Ibrahim, lauded the role women have played in Somali politics and peacemaking.

“From Asha Hagi Elmi becoming the first Somali woman to sign a peace agreement in 2004 to the campaign for women’s representation in the 2012 and 2016 parliamentary processes, the gains made so far provide a foundation for further progress. We must now create new pathways for Somali women from all generations to join forces for the future,” she said.

“We will not stop in our efforts to build on these accomplishments to ensure women’s full participation and representation in politics, leadership, and decision-making,” the Minister added.
