SOMALIA-VIOLENCE-WOMEN-REFUGEES
TO GO WITH STORY by Helen Vesperini
Sofyia, an elderly woman displaced by violence uses a cane to prop herself up as she stands next to a makeshift shelter she calls home in Tawakal, a camp for Internally Diplaced People in Galkayo in the northern breakaway state of Puntland on October 17, 2009. The conflict in south and central Somalia is forcing women to flee northwards with their children to safety ? a perilous week-long journey by truck that exposes them to armed gangs that assault them sexually and rob their last few possessions. The northern regions of Puntland and Somaliland, with their relative political stability, attract tens of thousands of displaced, depleting still further the scant resources of sometimes unwelcoming local communities.
