Somali Danish Women in Action (SDWA)
Somali Danish Women in Action, abbreviated as SDWA, is a voluntary Diaspora women led organization that is non-profit making, non-governmental and non-partisan with no religious or political affiliation. The establishment of the organization came after a group of Somali-Danish women, based in Denmark, held an assembly meeting on the drought crisis that hit most of the regions in Somalia and affected nearly 2.5 million people who were at risk of starvation at that time. The group led by Hawa Abdirashid organized the assembly meeting to discuss the establishment of a women-led Diaspora organization on the 4th of November 2021 in Nyborg, Denmark and founded the organization to respond to the need for humanitarian aid, gender violence, and gender inequalities in Somalia with the purpose to support women, youth, and children in Somalia by providing both relief and gender-mainstreamed developmental programs through educational capacity building, peacebuilding, and conflict resolution.
