It is also important to evaluate the laws produced by Parliament to
know what has changed in regards to the preservation of womens
right. There are so many laws passed by Parliament, but are these
laws favourable to defending womens rights and ensuring their
rights? Our Constitution in the 3rd Article on basic rights calls for
women to take an active role in all nominated and elected public
positions. Have we reached that target? Are we close to achieving
it?

SCRIPT
MOGADISHU - The Deputy Speaker of the Somali Parliament, Mahad
Abdallah Awad has asked female legislators to evaluate the countrys laws
and examine whether the legal framework promotes womens rights and
uplifts women in various leadership positions.
The gender unit of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in
partnership with the Federal Government of Somalia is presently training
women Members of Parliament to build capacity on issues of the law and
the media.

A training workshop opened at the AMISOM VIP conference centre in


Mogadishu on Thursday, drawing participants from current and former
Somali female Members of Parliament, AMISOM officials who included
Lydia Wanyoto, the Deputy Special Representative of the Chairperson of
the African Union Commission to Somalia (DSRCC).
Mahad Abdallah Awad, the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament who
opened the workshop said, It is also important to evaluate the laws
produced by Parliament to know what has changed in regards to the
preservation of womens right. There are so many laws passed by
Parliament, but are these laws favourable to defending womens rights
and ensuring their rights? Our Constitution in the 3rd Article on basic
rights calls for women to take an active role in all nominated and elected
public positions. Have we reached that target? are we close to achieving
it?
The training workshop will cover human rights and gender equality in
relation to the Somalia jurisdictional system; gender; international
humanitarian laws, analysing laws and policies with gender tools; gender
discriminatory customs and practices; campaign skills; how to develop
messaging and disseminate through the media.
Maimuna Shiekh Omar, the Deputy Minister for Women Affairs and Human
Rights said, We are happy today to see women MPs capacity building
being implemented. We are very grateful to AMISOM for organising this
seminar which is aimed at improving women MPs knowledge. We are also
very pleased to see so many people taking part in this workshop and we
welcome it and thank the organisers of this workshop.
DSRCC Wanyoto said, This workshop therefore Mr. Speaker is meant to
help the caucus to learn how to wear gender lenses in their daily work, for

example to study the budget which provides critical access for women and
children, healthcare, education, economic opportunities, or be able to
recognize and denounce discriminatory laws against women as their
representatives.
Wanyoto added that the African Union is committed to building the
capacity of Somali women legislators in understanding of their role and
responsibilities in the protection of girls and women, and support
empowerment to change attitudes towards women and their role in
society.
Maryam Isaak, the chairperson of the womens caucus in the Somali
Parliament expressed hope that the workshop would equip them with skills
that would be used to enhance women's rights.
