Our young people play a vital role in building and sustaining peace within our communities and the country. Youth are powerful agents of change who can promote unity, tolerance, and social cohesion. Their energy, creativity, and leadership are essential in preventing conflict and creating peaceful societies.

"As youth, we can bring people together through community discussions, awareness campaigns, and cultural activities that encourage mutual respect and understanding among different groups," says Ahmed, our peace ambassador in Galkacyo

Peace starts with how we treat each other every day, not just in big moments!

Together, we can build a peaceful nation!

In Somalia, SYRC stands at the forefront of protecting young journalists, ensuring their voices are heard, their rights are defended, and their safety is prioritized. SYRC works closely with media associations and strengthens a network of support that empowers the next generation of storytellers and truth-seekers.

A free press is the backbone of any just society. Supporting youth journalists today means safeguarding the truth for tomorrow.

“Freedom of the press is not just for journalists. It belongs to the public. We write and report so that every Somali voice can be heard,” says Abdirashid Nor Ibrahim, Communication Specialist and IGAD Media Award Winner 2024.

“Press freedom means our people can speak without fear. Without it, truth becomes a casualty of conflict,” says Hanad Ali Guled, Director of SRS

Press Freedom is a fundamental human right! .

Empowering women is extremly important for building strong, resilient, and inclusive societies. When women have access to education, skills training, and economic opportunities, they are better equipped to contribute to their families, communities, and the broader economy. This not only improves household well-being but also drives sustainable development and reduces poverty.

Women’s empowerment also promotes equality and social justice. By ensuring that women have a voice in decision-making—whether in households, workplaces, or leadership position in societies
Somali Youth Resilience Committee-SYRC is committed to become more balanced and representative.

We believe that Empowered women are more likely to advocate for health, education, and the rights of others, creating a positive ripple effect across generations. Investing in women’s capacity building enhances innovation and productivity.
