While cultural norms, weak legal protections, and limited opportunities still exclude women from formal decision-making, they remain the hidden pillars of peacebuilding and reconciliation in Galmudug.

In this episode, we speak with Saida Abdulkadir Hassan, a Harvard-trained policy analyst and founder of Hindis, and author of a new Heritage Institute report. She highlights how breaking barriers can advance women’s role in peacebuilding and state-building in Somalia — and why strengthening women’s skills and supporting economic empowerment could decide the future of lasting peace.

🎙️ Hosted by Saida Mohamed Hassan, researcher at the Heritage Institute and co-author of the report.
