Somaliland :Responding Discrimination Article Wrote by Ibrahim Mead in Qaran-News
To begin with Dignity is a term used in moral, ethical, legal, and political discussions to signify that a being has an innate right to be valued and receive ethical treatment. It is an extension of the enlightenment era concepts of inherent, inalienable rights. Dignity is often used in proscriptive and cautionary ways: for example in politics it is usually used to critique the treatment of oppressed and vulnerable groups and peoples, but it has also been extended to apply to cultures and sub-cultures, religious beliefs and ideals, animals used for food or research, and plants. Dignity also has descriptive meanings pertaining to human worth, although there is no exact or agreed upon definition of this worth. In general, the term has various functions and meanings depending on how the term is used and on the context.The word dignity” comes from Latin (dignita) by way of french (dignite)
In ordinary usage it denotes respect and status, and it is often used to suggest that someone is not receiving a proper degree of respect, or even that they are failing to treat themselves with proper self-respect. There is also a long history of special philosophical use of this term. However, it is rarely defined outright in political, legal, and scientific discussions. With respect to gender equality, a state that does not educate and train women is like a man who only trains his right arm. There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen. There is a great competition and rivalry between the two. There is a third power stronger than both, that of the women. Blindness separates people from things;deafness separates people from people. “Muslim women do not regard Islam as an obstacle to their progress; indeed, many may see it as a crucial component of that progress.
Islam deals with women in a comprehensive way in the context of her relationship with Allah, her Creator and Lord, with herself as a part of humanity, and with man, her partner and natural spouse in the family. During the presentation below, keep in mind the rights that other societies grant them in comparison to the rights to which Islam has entitled women.
It is noteworthy that Islamic teachings are attentive to the needs and rights of the weaker gender throughout her life: as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, and as a member of the Islamic society. According to the Quran, men and women have the same spirit, there is no superiority in the spiritual sense between men and women.The issue of women in Islam, is topic of great misunderstanding and distortion due partly to a lack of understanding, but also partly due to is behavior of some Muslims which has been taken to represent the teachings of Islam. We speak here about what Islam teaches, and that is that standard according to which Muslims are to be judged. As such, my basis and source is the Quran–the words of Allah, and the sayings of the Prophet, his deeds and his confirmation. Islamic laws are derived from these sources. To facilitate our discussion we can discuss the position of women from a spiritual, economic, social, and political standpoint.
Women have been at the forefront of politics for quite a while now. They have ruled since the dawn of time. Egyptian queens governed the Mesopotamian area as early as 3000 BC. Women became members of parliament in East European countries after the Great War. They hold offices in many governments. In 1960, Sirimavo Bandaranaike became the first woman to become the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka.

Victoria C. Woodhull was the first woman to run for president in the United States. She was selected by the Equal Rights Party to be its candidate in the 1872 election. The Equal Rights Party platform supported women’s right to vote and work, among other issues, but Woodhull was soundly defeated in the election by Ulysses S. Grant. Shirley Chisholm also deserves recognition. In 1972, she became the first major-party black candidate for President of the United States and the first woman to run for the Democratic presidential nomination. Margaret Chase Smith was the first woman to run for the Republican presidential nomination. Elizabeth Dole is another woman who ran for the Republican presidential nomination during the 2000 elections.
Although every somalilander has fully aware the role taken by Amina Waris for SNM liberation struggle, however, Mr. Ibrahim Mead appears that does not believe women’s rights movements are primarily concerned with making the political, social, and economic status of women equal to that of men and with establishing legislative safeguards against discriminating. In conclusion taken into account for the evidence listed above, we not understand why Mr. Ibrahim is irritated if honorable minster admit and recognize traits of Amina Waris. As mentioned above, all world civilizations leading by our Islamic have admitted and recognized the rights of women, as they are our mothers sisters aunts etc. Considering all above, Mr. is requested immigration from discrimination tongue. I Anticipate, he will. Last, but not least appreciation extended to all the websites published on my various articles related to the current and past developments of Somali-land.
