Featured Organizations

Institute for Education of Women in Africa and the Diaspora IEWAD is committed to improving the well-being of girls and women in Africa via educational research, service, and advocacy. IEAWAD began with a group of African and American women in response to the recognition of the disadvantaged status that continues to dominate the lives of girls and women in Africa, in large part due to the denial of the right to education.

The Women`s Union achieves social justice for disadvantaged women, with the understanding that education and economic self-sufficiency set the stage for women and their families to thrive.

YOUT ORGANIZATION FOR THE PREVENTION OF AIDS (YOPA)

HOW CAN WE FREE SOMALI FORGOTTEN FEMALE?

Dear friends,

About two decades Somalia had no functional government that covers complaints from the needy people including women and children who are firstly vulnerable to any riots or violence. Women and girls are traditionally isolated in Somalia from their rights including Education and an employment. Somalia parents rarely send girls to school.

But fortunately generous individuals and organizations stood up to campaign women rights to at least diagnose symptoms caused to abandon Somalia females. However all those efforts were jeopardized by the pandemonium in the country that made Somali women mortified! So how we stop tears flooding from frightening female in Somali?

Please give your 2009 comments, support and suggestions.

With regards,
YOPA leaders
