Shukri Mohamed Abdi and Fathi Mohamed Ahmed, journalists at Bilan Media, Somalia's first all-women media team, use a mobile to record the news inside the Bilan Media studios in Mogadishu, Somalia August 20, 2023. - REUTERSPIX: People often laugh when Fathi Mohamed Ahmed tells them she runs the first and only all-female newsroom in Somalia, one of the most dangerous places on the planet to be a reporter.
“Sometimes my soul tells me I cannot continue the work because of insecurity and societal pressure. However, it is a career that I loved since my childhood and a dream which still lives in me,“ Ahmed said. The Committee to Protect Journalists ranks Somalia last in its Global Impunity Index, which measures the number of unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of a country’s population.
A story about the stigma surrounding menstruation became one of Bilan’s most viral when it was broadcast earlier this year, garnering more than 130,000 views and dozens of comments on Facebook.
