Who We Are
GHSRF is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving gender equality within our communities and in Somali land in general.
Our Story
Women in Somalia are disadvantaged due to social norms that restrict women to house chores and home management. This reduces their ability to exploit their talents and renders them to be too dependent on the male gender in their lives. GHSRF believes in a society where a woman is able to use skills learned to support their families and husbands.
This ensures equity and equality in the economically competitive world where women must participate in leadership and development. To us, empowering one woman is equivalent to empowering the whole community; the woman ensures her children and close one are empowered too.
Youth joblessness has also become the source of evil in Somalia. We want to be part of eradicating poverty and this can only be possible through empowering the jobless youth who have suffered several injustices in their growing times. The missed out on education opportunities due to civil war hence instability for any educational institution to run effectively
What makes us different?
