WORCESTER — Nineteen-year-old Deqa Abdirahman Aden likes
politics, and, after completing her studies in the United States, she said she
would like to someday return home to Somaliland to run for public office. However, raised in an African societal and religious culture that drastically
limits opportunities for women, she recognizes that career option probably
won't be available to her. Only two women have ever risen to national ministerial posts in Somaliland, and
Ms. Aden said there will probably never be a female president in her lifetime.
