Traditional Somali society was a liberal Moslem society, yet women were denied Islamic scholarship and leadership. The patriarchal British colonial order and secular education reinforced “traditional” discrimination against women. Commercialization, intensified by colonialism, led to the introduction of a new female dress code and the reinterpretation of Islamic practice to include housewivization of middle class wives.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
