SIHA Network was started by a group of Somali and Sudanese women living in conflict in the 1990s with the aim of giving grassroots women a voice to address subordination and violence against women and girls in the Horn of Africa. With this renewal grant, the organisation will strengthen the capacities of 300 street vendors in Kampala and Hargeisa in leadership, networking and training skills; to advocate for access to resources for women street vendors and to plan national advocacy campaigns to end all forms of violence against women and increase their political participation
