The Voice of Somaliland minority Women organization known as VOSOMWO, with helping IRI was made awareness raising in three schools in city of Hargeisa, This awareness was focused on the elimination of discrimination against students from culturally deprived areas and students with special needs, awareness was also implemented in three schools namely Nasa hablood primary school, Daami primary school and Sheikh-nuur primary school.
This awareness solves existing challenges and constraints discouraging minority children from attending and enrolling schools such as traditional discriminatory practices in either local communities or schools, also This awareness raising makes both local communities and school teachers understand challenges discouraging minority children from attending schools. Finally this awareness is aimed to change attitudes of both local communities and three school’s beneficiaries to eliminate all barriers against minority children to attend schools. It goes without saying that minority children and children with disabilities do not attend schools during their childhood.
