Episode 8 – Season 2 of the Trade for Peace podcast Women-Owned Business: A Story From Somalia is now available! Join us in uncovering the experiences of a mother-daughter owned business in a fragile and conflict‑affected country. They highlight their daily business operations in Somalia and the challenges they face as women in such an environment.
Promoting women-owned businesses and trade for peace in Somalia, Hanan Warsame and her mother, Istarlin Ali Mohamed, share their experience as women entrepreneurs in an area where conflict is prevalent. The two businesswomen discuss operations and supply chain challenges, particularly regarding access to products, and the solutions they've found. Despite this, they provide high-quality service to local and international clients daily. By highlighting the positive impact of their business on security and peace in Mogadishu, and by addressing the prospects of women in business in Somalia, they hope to encourage other Somalis in the diaspora to contribute to rebuilding the country.
