Ciid Mubaarak 🌙✨
Munaasabaddan barakaysan, waxaan bulshada Soomaaliyeed ee ku kala nool daafaha kala duwan ee Soomaaliya u rajaynaynaa nabad, rajo wanaagsan, iyo adkaysi. Innagoo u dabaaldegayna, waxaan mar kale adkaynaynaa sida ay nooga go’an tahay taageerada haweenka iyo gabdhaha, ilaalinta sharaftooda, iyo dhisidda mustaqbal qof walba ku horumari karo.
___________________________________________

Eid Mubarak 🌙✨
May this blessed occasion bring peace, hope, and renewed strength to communities across Somalia and beyond. As we celebrate, we reaffirm our commitment to empowering women and girls, promoting dignity, and building a future where everyone can thrive.

Haweeney kasta oo Soomaaliyeed waxay xaq u leedahay nolol ka madax bannaan xadgudub iyo cabsi. Taageerada UNFPA, Xarunta Baaritaanka Dambiyada (Forensic Centre) ee Soomaaliya waxay bixisaa caddeymo sharci ahaan la aqbali karo, taasoo ka caawinaysa dhibanayaasha xadgudubyada galmada inay helaan caddaalad, isla markaana lala xisaabtamo kuwa geysta xadgudubyada.



______________________________

Every Somali woman deserves a life free from violence and fear. With UNFPA support, the Advanced Forensic Centre in Somalia is providing court-admissible evidence, bringing survivors of sexual violence closer to justice and helping hold perpetrators accountable.

Haweeney kasta oo Soomaaliyeed, gaar ahaan kuwa ku nool xaaladaha barakaca ama duruufaha adag, waxay xaq u leedahay inay hesho daryeel caafimaad oo dhammaystiran iyo madax-bannaani ay ku go’aansato mustaqbalkeeda. Taas oo ku salaysan helitaanka adeegyo tayo leh oo la xiriira dhalmada iyo caafimaadka taranka, si loo xaqiijiyo dhalmo badqab leh.
Marka haweenku awood u yeeshaan inay go’aan ka gaaraan caafimaadkooda iyo jirkooda, qoysasku way horumaraan, Soomaaliya-na waxay u sii dhawaanaysaa sinnaan.

Every Somali woman, including women in displacement and crisis-affected communities, has the right to healthcare and the freedom to shape her own future, with access to quality maternal and reproductive health services and safe childbirth.
When they have control over their health and bodies, families thrive and Somalia moves closer to equality.

In Kahda District, a quiet but powerful transformation is unfolding.

At just 19 years old, Saido’s world changed after she survived a violent assault. Overwhelmed by trauma, she withdrew into silence. She could not sleep, speak, or connect with those around her. “I felt like I was drowning,” she recalls.

Healing began the day she walked into the NoFYL Women and Girls Safe Space, funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency, KOICA, with support from UNFPA. Welcomed by a trained counselor, Saido found something she had been missing: a safe place to exist without judgment. No pressure. No expectations. Just someone who listened.

Through counseling, group therapy, and life skills sessions, she slowly began to rediscover her voice. Creative therapy and peer support helped her feel seen, valued, and understood. “Before, I used to avoid people. Now, I lead discussions,” she says with a smile.

Today, Saido volunteers at the Safe Space, mentoring younger girls and encouraging survivors to speak out. What was once a place of refuge has become a place of purpose.

Since opening, the Safe Space in Kahda has supported hundreds of women and girls affected by violence, offering psychosocial support, empowerment programs, dignity, and hope.

“They didn’t just help me recover,” Saido says. “They helped me feel human again.”

Her journey reminds us that healing begins with being seen and heard. In communities where many suffer in silence, safe spaces provide a lifeline, a chance to breathe, rebuild, and rise.

Bilowga Bisha Barakaysan ee Ramadaan, waxay ay idiin rajaynaysaa nabad, naxariis iyo isku duubni dhammaan dadka sooman.

Ramadaan waa bil cibaado, is-xisaabin iyo samafal. Waa waqti qalbiyadu isu furmaan, dadkuna isu gurmadaan. Waxay na xasuusinaysaa mas’uuliyadda naga saaran in aan garab istaagno kuwa nugul, gaar ahaan haweenka iyo gabdhaha, si ay u helaan adeegyo badbaadinaya noloshooda sida daryeelka hooyada iyo dhallaanka, ka hortagga tacaddiyada iyo dhaqamada waxyeellada leh, iyo in la ilaaliyo karaamadooda.

Ramadaan Mubarak.

As the holy month of Ramadan begins, extends warm wishes of peace, compassion, and solidarity to all observing.

Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity, and community. It reminds us of our shared responsibility to uplift the most vulnerable, ensuring that every woman and girl can access lifesaving maternal health services, protection from harmful practices, and the dignity they deserve.

May this month inspire renewed commitment to kindness, equity, and hope.

Ramadan Mubarak.
