Path to Peace (Episode 395): Protection of Children in Somalia

Tubta Nabaada "Path to Peace"

This week on #TubtaNabadda we look into the pressing issue of protecting children from all types of violations. Children in Somalia face numerous challenges, including neglect, recruitment by armed groups, limited educational opportunities, and physical and psychological harm. During the first segment of the programme, we hear from Major Abdifatah Adan Hassan, Spokesperson of the Somali Police Force. He discusses the strategies implemented by Somali Police to safeguard children from recruitment into the police force, as well as the collaborative efforts between communities and law enforcement officers to protect Somali children from violations. In the second segment of the programme, we hear from Nadifa Haji Nunakey, Executive Director of a non-profit organisation - Somali Girls' Umbrella for Development. She discusses the plight of Somali children affected by armed conflict and suggests measures the government can take to prevent their recruitment as soldiers. The programme is presented in Somali by Faiza Abdi and Mohamed Salad.
