Under the theme Planet 50-50 by 2030: Step It Up for Gender Equality, the day is aimed at encouraging governments to step up efforts in empowering women and eradicating cultural practices, laws and regulations that hinder the realization of their full potential in society. The government should come up with a fair formula that spells out womens equitable representation of the 2016 electoral selections in line with the general principle of the provisional constitution of Somalia and article 22 of the Istanbul Communique of February 2016, the women said in the communiqu read by Deqa Yasin, the Operations Manager of IIDA Womens Development Organization. In his speech, Ambassador dUrso observed that positive steps had been made in Somalia with regard to rights of women but acknowledged that more
should to be done in areas of partnerships, gender mainstreaming and
advocacy. We need to continue with advocacy and make available real space for women in this process and this also touches on the core development processes, particularly the New Deal. Women have to be involved in all levels, emphasized the Ambassador.

The Minister observed that gains had so far been made in the country on issues of womens rights, adding that there was need for Somali women to identify with global developments. This year, Somalia has to be part of the developing nations where the role of women is at the core of the development agenda. Development is bringing change and Somalia must be part of that change with regard to womens issues, Zahra Samantar, the Minister said.

He stressed the Missions commitment to ensure gender equity. The African Union Mission in Somalia is highly committed to taking concrete action in supporting the Federal Government of Somalia, in protecting the rights of women and children, said Ambassador Madeira. The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mahad Abdalla Awad, assured women of the governments commitment in ensuring equality, saying there are constitutional provisions in Somalia, that seek to empower women and ensure gender equity.
