Muqdisho | QOL | April 30, 2018 – Speaking at a gathering attended by the women parliamentarians of both houses of the federal republic of Somalia, lawmaker Fawsiyo stressed on the need for the Somali women politicians to have an effective role in politics.
“The Somali women are underestimated in the political decision-making process. The traditional elders do not give any importance to women in representing their clan as they are the ones that select political
representatives of the clan.” Fawsiyo said.
Lawmaker Fawsiyo requested political parties to appoint women as their chairperson and if not, be given decisive position.
In Muslim countries, women are forbidden to take on the highest level of government jobs. Similarly, in Somalia, women are only eligible for certain political positions.
