soon as we heard there was only 1woman who stood AGAINST the intercourse bill legalizing
#childmarriage
my mom & I looked at each other and said it HAS to be MP Sahro Maalin who took that stand. Give us HER kind of commitment 2women &girls or throw the whole gender quota away😩
GREAT NEWS🇸🇴
Mp Sahro Omar Maalin, the only women voted against The Penetration Bill collected more than 20,000 petitions in Mogadishu & other parts of
#Somalia
, collection is still going on.
This is bringing our number to 36,104+
Petition numbers r increasing by the hour 👏🇸🇴👍
