A 70% majority of the female students from the Rajo Kaaba trainee teachers studying at the University of Southern Somalia provide their opinion that they would prefer SGBV perpetrators either be executed or sentenced to life-imprisonment. The results came from a study jointly carried out by faculty and students of the Department of Social Work and Social Administration of the same institution in July 2025. Despite massive global efforts to tackle the pandemic, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) remains one of the most frequently experienced incidences by women and girls across the globe. The impact is dreadfully unbearable, harmfully intolerable, and in some cases fatally overwhelming if the survivor contemplates solving the agony by committing suicide. Somalia, a war-ridden nation gradually recovering from lawlessness and a host of ailments that consumed many sectors of its of human development, represents a unique example of an underdeveloped country grappling with the challenges of SGBV. Existing previous studies, mainly carried out by humanitarian organizations operating in the country, unraveled causes and factors contributing to SGBV, its impact on the survivors, arbitration of elders and community leaders through customary law, and the challenges needed to be faced to overcome the problem. To contribute to the scanty but growing body of knowledge on SGBV in Somalia and all over the globe, this essay explores the perceptions of female undergraduates studying in the Faculty of Education of the University of Southern Somalia based in the city of Baidoa, Southwest State of Somalia.
