The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) is a
network of civil society organizations from Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia,
Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Uganda, and, most recently,
the coastal area of Kenya. Established in 1995 by a coalition of women’s
rights activists with the aim of strengthening the capacities of
women’s rights organizations and addressing women’s subordination and
violence against women and girls in the Horn of Africa, SIHA has grown
substantially and is now comprised of close to 75 member organizations.
