Name of organizer:Case study in Somalia
Number of participants:100
Summary of key issues discussed:
The case study is a family who live in one of Mogadishu's displaced camps after they fled from their original lands due to the conflicts and floods in Kuntuwarey village in the Lower Sahbel region of Somalia. Families lost their jobs, the father divorced the wife to escape responsibility for the family. While there is no effective government institutions in Mogadishu City it has become difficult for the mother to claim her dues from the father in courts. The children decided to work with their mother to bring up the family.
Recommendations from event
There should be policy and practices to improve poor conditions in the war torn countries. Children must also be provided with decent work free from insultations and beatings.
