I have heard so much about Muraayad Garaad, the mother of the Somali Feminist movement, it is refreshing to finally see her face. She looks every bit as dignified as I imagined her to be and if her speaking is a reflection of her intellect, the lady was gifted indeed.

True, Every time somali sheikhs are asked about women and the bleaching of their skin they say why would they even do it somali women have beautiful different skin tones. I guess skin changes with bleach and the environment you live in.

Wow! I remember this and recognize a family member in one of the takes.

This was one of the last social initiatives that the government was working on.

If I remember correctly, it was implemented through the health ministry and ururka hooyooyinka. Thanks for posting it.
