The self-declared republic of Somaliland has passed a law against rape for the first time. In the past, the victim could be forced to marry the rapist and the families would support such a resolution to hide the shame attached to rape. Rapists now stand to face at least 30 years in prison. Somaliland’s speaker of parliament, Bashe Mohamed Farah, told the BBC that rape cases have risen and he hoped the new law would help stop that trend. “Nowadays we have seen even people carrying out gang rapes,” he said. “The main emphasis of the new act is to completely stop rape. The new law has come in after years of lobbying by children and women’s rights advocates. Faisa Ali Yusuf of the Women’s Agenda Forum told the BBC they’ve been waiting for such legislation for a very long time. The BBC’s Anne Soy explains that this comes within the context of the self-declared republic being keen to be seen internationally as a viable democracy with functioning institutions. It declared itself independent from the rest of Somalia in 1991 but is not internationally recognised as a country. Our correspondent says there is still no law against rape in Somalia. BBC

BEIJING — One of the BBC’s top journalists, Carrie Gracie, has resigned from her China post over what she called a “secretive and illegal” pay structure that had her male peers making 50 percent more than her. In an open letter published Sunday evening, Gracie, who served as China editor, said the public broadcaster faced a “crisis of trust” because it routinely paid men more than women for the same work. “The BBC belongs to you, the licence fee payer. I believe you have a right to know that it is breaking equality law and resisting pressure for a fair and transparent pay structure,” she wrote. The BBC’s superb China editor steps down over equal pay after discovering she is paid 50% less than male counterparts @bbccarrie #istandwithcarriehttps://t.co/SirBYwRPjR — Katty Kay (@KattyKayBBC) January 7, 2018 Gracie’s resignation comes after the BBC went public with a list of its highest-paid employees — and the vast majority were men. The disclosures saw some of the BBC’s biggest stars, including Gracie, calling publicly for pay equity using the hashtag “#BBCWomen.” The BBC conducted an audit, only to determine there was no gap — a finding Gracie contests. In the letter, Gracie said the BBC has four international editors, two male and two female. She said she learned last summer that the two men earned 50 percent more than the two women. “Despite the BBC’s public insistence that my appointment demonstrated its commitment to gender equality, and despite my own insistence that equality was a condition of taking up the post, my managers had yet again judged that women’s work was worth much less than men’s,” she wrote. Gracie asked for parity, but did not get it. So, she is leaving the China post and returning to the newsroom, where she “expects to be paid equally.” “Enough is enough. The rise of China is one of the biggest stories of our time and one of the hardest to tell. I cannot do it justice while battling my bosses and a byzantine complaints process,” she wrote. Journalists in both Britain and China applauded her and expressed solidarity using the hashtag “#IStandWithCarrie.” Worked as @BBCCarrie’s producer for 3 years. She’s the best of the BBC: talented, hard working, & always asking tough questions. #bbcwomen for #equalpayhttps://t.co/mQnZ6y0NxW — Maria Byrne (@byrnemaria) January 7, 2018 Gracie closed her letter by calling on all companies — not just the BBC — to pay women what they are worth. “We are by no means the only workplace with hidden pay discrimination and the pressure for transparency is only growing. I hope rival news organisations will not use this letter as a stick with which to beat the BBC, but instead reflect on their own equality issues,” she wrote.
