Veils come off in Somali Paradise for Women

Recommended Posts

Hargeisa - Fatimah Ibrahim has dedicated herself to women's rights in her Somali homeland. The head of a non-governmental organization in Hargeisa, capital of the breakaway republic of Somaliland, she champions better educational opportunities for girls and women and improvements in their legal status.

 

But not only that.

 

'Women also have the right to look good and be pampered a little, don't they?' Ibrahim asks with a mischievous smile.

 

The women's rights activist has become a businesswoman on the side by opening a beauty salon.

 

'Janno Dumar' ('Paradise for Women') is written on the wall enclosing the salon grounds, which are totally off limits to men. All of the employees and customers are women. This is the only way the small spa-like enclave can hold its own in the Muslim country, where foreign women must also wear a veil and headscarf in public.

Errrm. getting pampered and getting your hair done at a ladies only salon makes one a gaalo wannabe. Right! SOL is on some crazy BS these days. Bisinka!

 

I've heard good things about this place and plan to go but that's a silly article. TBH.
