Digital Safety Skills for Young Somali Women
The Safe Sisters Program is a two-day digital safety training empowering young Somali women with the skills to navigate online spaces safely and confidently. Organized by DefendDefenders and facilitated by Naima Warsame Hassan from Bridge Hope Organization, the program trains women from advocacy, journalism, civil society, and humanitarian work.
Every woman faces online risks — this program equips them with practical tools for secure communication, data protection, and strategies to respond to online harassment.
Together, we can build a Somalia where women fully enjoy their fundamental human rights and have equal access to opportunities, safety, and participation in public life.
