Tubta Nabadda Episode 206

Tubta Nabaada "Path to Peace"

This week on #TubtaNabadda, we celebrate the International Day of the Girl Child, marked globally on 11 October, and reflect on issues that are important to Somalia’s girls. Our first guest is Brendan Ross, Chief Child Protection at UNICEF Somalia, who speaks about the importance of protecting Somali girls’ rights, and how they can be empowered through education and skills development. He also explains how UNICEF activities support the Somali Government’s initiatives for girls’ protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also interview Fatuma Muhumed, Programme Officer at UNFPA Somalia, about the specific challenges faced by Somali girls, and what needs to be done to enable adolescent girls to accelerate social change.
