Pastoralist Concern in collaboration with Jigjiga University organized an awareness campaign on Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and Cultural Identity at the JJU Main Hall in May 2026. The campaign aimed to promote dialogue on the impact of cultural practices on women’s rights and development while highlighting positive Somali cultural values that support gender equality.

The event focused on two major thematic areas:

Obstacles Related to Cultural Practices and Beliefs on Women’s Progress
Positive Features of Somali Culture Supporting Gender Equality

Participants engaged in discussions emphasizing the importance of community awareness, women’s empowerment, and collective action to address harmful traditional practices while strengthening positive cultural values that contribute to social inclusion and equality.

Through initiatives such as this awareness campaign, Pastoralist Concern continues to strengthen its commitment to advocacy, community engagement, and the promotion of gender equality in the Somali Region.

This Activity is part of the Convenio Project that is done in partnership with Medicusmundi Gipuzkoa, with the funding of the Spanish Cooperation.
