You want to know how Somalia wronged its women? Look no further than illiteracy rate for our women, in the higher doube digits by all accounts. One of the highest in the world, Eritrea, Kenya and Djibouti have better figures. How can any society claim to not mistreat its women when they are denied the basics? The problem is that we are so good at the art of deception, we think if we hide it, then deny it, it somehow no longer exists. The ills against women are too many for me to even name in this thread, but I will give you illiteracy and sexual violence as two. Coming back to my other example, sexual violence against women happens all too often, Somali men are no different than everyone else, both anatomically and psychologically, are we? We are prone to rape and maim like all else. There's really nothing left that we can say we are above it anymore, its all been done.
There was a time when women had honor & people respected the customs more so than in many parts of the world, but the civil war put an end to that.
HalfBaked,
I agree with everything You are saying. All I'm saying is that maamul la'aan iyo kala danbayn la'aan brings about all sorts of dibaato. This is why When the Prophet SAW died, the Ansaar and Muhaajiruun started debating who would rule before the best creation of the entire Universe was even buried. One of the Saxaaba who was very Prominent RA was asked about this and He said that the Sahaaba hated not being part of a jamaaca for even a PART of a day and they had to resolve that asap. For us Somaalida We didn't have a maamul for 21 years! Maamul la'aan opens up a floodgate of problems, and the abusing of Women is one of MANY. Peoples properties get looted, people are killed for no reason, women get raped, the weak vulnerable clans get devoured, and all sorts of dulmi iyo xad gudub. I just notice How much Soomalida downplay Statelessness. These are all symptoms, of one ill.
