When Somali women feel as if though they have an opportunity to take action and improve their health, it gives them hope for themselves and for other people in their community (Personal Communication). Civic Health literacy is being literate in knowing one’s responsibilities and rights (Christina Z., Andrew P., David G., 2006). Somali women aren’t sure of their rights and how they are able to stand up for themselves, however once they do understand they feel empowered and want to help others. Somali women feel the most empowered when they can rely on other members of the community to go through similar experiences as them (Jennifer C., Ronald E., Kevin F., Ellen V., Katherine D., and Sadiya O., 2007).
