This week on #TubtaNabadda, we mark the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women and peace and security, which reaffirms the important role of women in prevention and resolution of conflicts, peace negotiations, peace building, peacekeeping, humanitarian response and in post conflict reconstruction.
We interview Hodan Barre Mohamud, a Senior Officer at the federal Ministry of Internal Security, about how the Somali government, working with partners, encourages women’s disengagement from violent activities and their contributions to peacebuilding.
We also interview Lucky Omaar, Project Officer with IOM Somalia’s Disengagement, Disassociation, Reintegration and Reconciliation Unit, about the positive impact of a project by IOM, UN Peacebuilding Fund, and the Federal Government of Somalia, leveraging the strength of women in peacebuilding, and which provided rehabilitation and reintegration services to women formerly associated with violent armed groups.
