STORY:

The African Union envoy on Women, Peace and Security Ms. Benita Diop has
concluded her 4-day official visit to Somalia, where she made a pledge
to continue pushing for womens rights.
This was her first visit to Somalia since her appointment in January 2014.
Ms Diop was accompanied by three prominent African women, Namibian
ambassador to Ethiopia and the African Union who is also a member of the
Peace and Security Commission H.E. Anne Mutelo, Ms. Julienne Lusenge, an
award winning woman activist from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
and Ms. Mumbi Mathangani, the Conduct and Discipline Advisor for Peace

Speaking to the media after her visit, Ms Diop said Somali women have
endured a lot of suffering but noted that they had bravely soldiered on and
risen above the challenges to take active roles in the political, social and
economic status of their society.
We also listened to the women groups because many of them said how could
they contribute because without them we will not find Somalia as it is right
now. They have been the backbone of the society and they need contribution
from us but also from the world so that they can in a meaningful way continue
to sustain this country. They also wanted to contribute in the rebuilding of
governance mechanism, they wanted to be in the reform of the constitution,
they wanted to be in the elections, they wanted to be leaders on this
governance mechanism, they wanted to be in parliament and they wanted
also to have laws that can protect them as well, Ms Diop said.
Ms Diop is a renowned woman activist with over 35 years experience in
human rights and developments issues. She has also served in the UN
Women International Civil Society Group and is best remembered for cochairing Resolution 1325, in March 2012, with H.E. Mary Robinson, Former
