Being a pageant winner takes more than beauty and talent. The newly crowned Miss Kansas Alexis Smith showed that winning the title sometimes requires bravery, too.

Smith stunned the judges during her final interview at the Miss Kansas competition last month when she said that her abuser was in the audience. https://cnn.it/3WhNG03

Inaa Lillahi Wa Inaa Illah Raajucuun.

The death of Hon. Khadija Mohamed Diriye, Minister of Women and Human Rights Development in Somalia. It is with our deepest condolences to her family and loved ones, She was a strong advocate for the human rights of women and children in Somalia. She was a voice for women and children who had no voice against domestic violence, FGM, gender equality, and children's rights. She had advanced bills such as the FGM bill, the sexual offenses bill, children's rights bill, and disability Bill. She has visited Minnesota to partner with us on Women, children, and youth Issues advocating for us to continue our work here and partnering and training women and youth in Somalia..

Ho. Khadija's Mohamed Dirie, voice, and absence will be greatly missed. May Allah/God bless her soul. Allaha Unaxariisto. Amin.

Domestic violence often involves emotional abuse that makes it even harder to leave safely. For immigrant women, residency status, financial resources and threats against children in the home are just a few of the ways abusers maintain control.
