The Assessment of Women’s Economic Participation in Somalia offers a comprehensive examination of the impediments and prospects for women’s economic engagement in the country. The study identifies and examines a range of systemic challenges that impede women’s full economic participation, including gender-based discrimination, limited access to education and financial resources, and the presence of legal and cultural frameworks that perpetuate gender inequality. The study underscores the pivotal role of women as catalysts for economic advancement, positing that their empowerment is not only a prerequisite for social justice but also a crucial step toward achieving sustainable development in Somalia.
This study presents evidence-based policy recommendations designed to enhance women’s labor force participation, improve access to finance, and promote inclusivity in decision-making. By addressing the identified barriers and implementing strategic interventions, Somalia can unleash the potential of its female workforce, ultimately contributing to the nation’s economic recovery and growth.
