Hay’adda SEDDCO waxay u taagantahay difaaca, daryeelka, iyo ilaalinta xuquuqda dadka Maqalka La’ ee Soomaaliyeed. Waxaan halkaan ka caddaynaynaa inaan marnaba la aqbalin karin, loona dulqaadan doonin fal kasta ama hadal kasta oo meel ka dhac ku ah karaamada iyo sharafta bulshada aan matalno.
Qodobbada Codkeena:
1. Difaaca Sharafta Gabadha Soomaaliyeed: SEDDCO waxay si adag u cambaaraynaysaa soo jeedinta ah in lacag lagu bixiyo guurka gabdhaha maqalka la’. Gabadha maqalka la’ ma ahan badeeco suuq taal, ee waa qof bini’aadan ah oo leh xaq, sharaf, iyo karaamo ka sarreysa hanti kasta. Guurku waa heshiis ku dhisan rabitaan iyo is-qiimeyn, mana oggolaan doono in gabadhaheena loo arko dad "abaal-marin" lagu guursado.
2. Inaad Loogu Dulqaadan Doonin Gefka Diimeed: Waxaan si cad u ganafka ku dhufanaynaa sheegashada beenta ah ee ah in dadka maqalka la’ aysan tukan ama aysan aqoon Faatixada. Tani waa gef laga galay caqligooda iyo diintooda. SEDDCO waxay mar walba u taagantahay inay fadhiga ka kiciso qof kasta oo raba inuu bulshada maqalka la' ka dhigo dad aan waxba garanayn.
3. Hoggaanka Horumarka: Bulshada maqalka la’ waa dadka ugu kartida iyo hal-abuurnimada wanaagsan qarnigan. SEDDCO waxay aaminsantahay in caqabadda kaliya ee hortaagan ay tahay "kuwa wax-magaratada ah" ee caqabadda ku ah waxbarashada iyo horumarka bulshadan gaarka ah.
Baaqa SEDDCO: Waxaan digniin u diraynaa cid kasta oo ku xad-gudubta karaamada dadka maqalka la’. SEDDCO waxay diyaar u tahay inay qaaddo tallaabo kasta oo sharci ah iyo mid bulshaba si loo ilaaliyo xuquuqda iyo qiimaha bulshadeena

Official Statement: SEDDCO’S Stand on the Dignity and Rights of the Deaf Community
Mogadishu, Somalia — The Somali Educational and Developmental Center for the Deaf Community (SEDDCO) issues this formal statement to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to protecting the honor, dignity, and fundamental rights of the Deaf community in Somalia.
SEDDCO stands as a shield against any form of discrimination or dehumanization. We find the recent derogatory remarks regarding the marriage of Deaf women and the misrepresentation of their religious practices to be deeply offensive and unacceptable.
Our Core Position:
Upholding Dignity: SEDDCO categorically rejects any attempt to commodify Deaf women through monetary incentives for marriage. We believe that every woman deserves to be valued for her intellect, character, and humanity—not treated as a subject of financial transaction.
Challenging Misconceptions: We strongly refute the false claims regarding the religious literacy of the Deaf community. SEDDCO continues to prove that with the right tools—such as Sign Language—the Deaf community is fully capable of excelling in both religious and secular education.
•Zero Tolerance for Abuse: SEDDCO will not remain silent while the integrity of our community is being undermined. We view these actions not just as an insult to the Deaf, but as a barrier to the social and educational progress of the entire Somali nation.
Final Declaration: SEDDCO remains the primary advocate for the Deaf community. We will continue to challenge ignorance and advocate for a society that treats all its citizens with the respect and honor they are divinely and legally entitled to.
