Somalia's 60-year-old graduate motivated by feminist issues

Sixty-year-old Safiyo Jama Gayre has just graduated in Somalia. She chose to study Sharia and secular law at Puntland State University in order to help victims of oppression, especially women.

As the university's oldest female graduate, she says age should not be a barrier for education.

This is part a regular series on African Women You Need to Know.
