UNTMIS Supports Workshop on Youth Education and Employment Rights in Garowe, Puntland

GAROWE, 2 June 2025 – Puntland Youth Association Network (PYAN) facilitated a two-day validation workshop on a policy paper concerning human rights perspectives on education and employment access for youth. The workshop, supported by the Human Rights experts of the United Nations Transitional Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNTMIS) and convened 25 participants, including youth representatives, civil society organizations (CSOs), and government officials.

During the workshop, participants engaged in vibrant discussions and provided valuable inputs on the policy paper. They were divided into groups to brainstorm selected topics, and their contributions will be incorporated into the final draft of the policy paper.

The primary objective of the meeting was to advance rights-based and inclusive solutions for Somali youth, with a specific focus on the unique challenges faced by young people in Puntland. The validated policy paper, titled “A Human Rights Perspective on Education and Employment Access for Youth in Puntland: Situational Analysis,” underscored the critical importance of adopting a human rights-based approach (HRBA) to address the interconnected challenges of education and youth unemployment.

The executive summary of the report highlighted that over 80% of Puntland’s population is under the age of 35, representing a significant demographic opportunity. However, many young people, particularly nomadic children, girls, youth with disabilities, and internally displaced persons (IDPs), encounter systemic barriers that impede their access to education and dignified employment opportunities.

The report emphasized that a rights-based approach extends beyond mere service delivery. Instead, it ensures that both the outcomes (such as literacy, civic engagement, and job readiness) and the processes (including inclusive policy formulation, accountability measures, and access to redress) of educational and employment systems align with the fundamental principles of human dignity, non-discrimination, participation, empowerment, and accountability. Furthermore, this approach directly addresses the root causes of inequality, such as poverty, gender discrimination, and political marginalization, advocating for a shift from charity-centered models to rights-based empowerment.

Gender Discrimination and Challenging Negative Gender Stereotypes in Puntland: Policy Priorities and Recommendations

Gender discrimination in Somalia or Puntland is deeply rooted in cultural, social, and institutional practices, with significant impacts on the lives of women and girls. In this modern world, every woman in Puntland can create the kind of life she wishes to lead, which is unconstrained by harmful social norms and discriminatory stereotypes. To make a future where women and girls in Puntland are free from harmful stereotypes and discriminatory practices, concerted efforts from all sectors, like the government, civil society, the private sector, and communities, are necessary. Local actors like the Puntland Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) are agents in this process, impacting the degree to which norms influence local practices. They have a better understanding of local cultures and religious belief systems. They are, therefore, better placed to push the process of norm adaptation at the local level, including in rural areas.

Xal u helida caqabadaha ka dhashay xanunka Covid-19 ee saameynta u Ku yeeshay waxbarashada.

Caabuqa Covid-19 waxa uu galaaftay nafaha boqolaal kun oo qof, oo dunida daafaheeda ku noolaa, sidoo kale waxa uu saamayn ku yeeshay nooc-kasta oo nolosha aadanaha dunida ku nool.

Meelaha uu saamaynta ba’an ku yeeshay waxaa kamid ah waxbarashada oo isbeddel ku dhacay habkii wax loo baranjiray oo ahaa in macallinka inta uu fasalka soo galo ardayda si toos ah usiiyo casharrada. Habkaasi markii uu meesha kabaxay waxaa soo kor dhay in waxbasharashadii iyo duruustii lagu gudbiyo hab fogaan aragga ah oo ah mid caqabadihiisa wata.

Haddaba waxaa jira dad badan oo aan awooddin helitaanka agabka loo isticmaalo waxbarashada fogaan aragga ah, sida; Computer-ka, Telefon-ka Smartphones-ka ah, Internet-ka iyo Korontada. Si arrintaas xal loogu raadsho ayaa Dalladda ururrada Dhalinyarada ee PYAN oo kaashanaysa Global Campaing for Education GCE ayaa waxay qabatay kulan ay ugu talagashay wacyigalin iyo u-qareemid si loo helo imkaaniyaadka lagama maarmaanka ah ee ka saacidaya dadka aan awooddin ka qeybgalka waxbarashada fogaan aragga ah.

Dadka ay caqabadahaani la soo gudboonaadeen ama la soo dareen waxaa ka mid ah Danyarta, Barakacaaysha iyo dadyowga ku nool meelaha fogfog ama tuulooyinka ah.

Waxaa laga yabaa in dad badani aanay ka war heyn caqabadahaan ay Covid-19-ka kala kulmeen bulshooyinka nugul, sidoo kale aynu wali halis ugu jirno caabuqa oo soo laba kacleeya. Haddaba waxaa lagama maarmaan ah in lagu baraarugo oo loo qareemo sidii carruurta bulshooyinka aan kor ku soo sheegnay aanay uga hari laheyn waxbarashada.
