Sex,
Women and (Hu)Woman Rights
By CHIKA UNIGWE-One of my uncles, who is now in
his seventies, took a  second wife because his
wife had produced "enough" girls.Elementary
biology teaches us that the sex of a child is
determined by the male. He has the defining X
and Y chromosomes and depending on which one fuses
with the female's X chromosome, then you have a boy or a
girl. For the spiritualists, the sex/gender of a child
is determined by God or gods.

Traditionally Somali women were
absent from decision-making outside the family level.
