Mogadishu β To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, 30 survivors of sexual violence completed business skills training to improve their lives under a UN-supported initiative. The survivors underwent three months of training in tailoring and clothes dyeing and received starter kits with clothing and dyes to create income-generating businesses. The Director of Gender in the Ministry of Women, Human Rights, and Development, Sadia Mohamed Nur, said the government takes sexual violence against women seriously and will work with civil society to curb it.
Nur said. In January this year, the Federal Government of Somalia FGS adopted a national action plan to address conflict-related sexual violence. They also emphasised that the draft Sexual Offences Bill, once passed, will address sex crimes, including conflict-related sexual violence.
We want Parliament to pass the sexual offences bill. Trainees who spoke on the sidelines of the event said the skills acquired and the start-up kits would transform their lives.
