Somali Gender Hub in partnership with the Mawazo Institute is organising the fourth annual knowledge exchange conference on Somali Women in Higher Education, Research and Academia. The conference will take place on 29 November 2024, Nairobi, Kenya (physical, face-to-face).  The venue information  including the programme will be sent afterwards.

The annual knowledge exchange conference aims to explore and take stock of the situation of Somali women as well as explore perspectives, obstacles, best practices and opportunities in academia and in higher education. It aims at building skills and providing tools and information directly applicable to Somali women aspiring to be leaders in research and in academia. Somalia Gender Hub has since its launch in 2019 been a platform for Somali female researchers to present their research findings and an audience to listen to them. We are therefore excited that some of our speakers will share the findings from studies they previously conducted with us and with our audience. 

Our theme for this year is ‘Creating opportunities, building skills for Somali female researchers.’ 

Community of practice & mailing list

We are building a community of practice of Somali women researchers, academics, writers of all genres and knowledge producers. We have put together a mailing list at Google Groups so that we can continue the discussion even after the conference and share your work and resources with others. If you are interested in joining this mailing list, kindly let us know by emailing to info@somaligenderhub.org.

For enquiries an email can be sent to info@somaligenderhub.org.
