The practice of critical journalism and reporting in Somalia has become a difficult venture as it involves arrests, persecution or even death.

Somalia has maintained its first position as the most dangerous country for journalists in Africa, for the last eight years, and considered as one of the most dangerous places for journalists all over the world.

Abdalle Ahmed Mumin has always prioritized fighting for media freedom and human rights in Somalia. This has put his life and family in danger but his perspective was shaken when he could no longer have himself protected against the Somali government as a journalist for the past 20 years. Abdalle was accused of disobeying government directives in October 2022 and later in March 2023, he fled to Nairobi for safety where he is living until now.

It has been said that social psychologist, Kurt Zadek Lewin's 1943 gatekeeping theory was modeled basing on the role of women in a home. This is because of the important role of gatekeeping that women played in the day-to-day management of the home affairs. The onus was always on the women to determine the kind of food the family would eat and for what occasion. For several years, women remained confined in the kitchen especially in the traditional setups but the situation has changed.
