The government of Tanzania in conjunction with various organizations has been struggling to liberate women from Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
Such efforts have proved successfully in different areas, because more women have started to understand their rights and claim them successfully.
Men too have reduced habits of mistreating their wives, thanks to effort from different Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like Tanzania Media Women's Association (TAMWA) and Legal Service Facility (LSF).
TAMWA scoops two awards at the International Women’s Day 2015
The Tanzania Media Women’s Association (TAMWA) won two awards in recognition of its endless efforts to bring about gender equality and women empowerment in the country.
The awards were presented by Tanzania President Dr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete to TAMWA’s Acting Director, Gladness Munuo, as part of International Women’s Day marked every year on March 8 to celebrate the social, political and economic achievements of women while focusing world attention on areas requiring further action to achieve equality for women.
Nationally, the day was celebrated in Morogoro where TAMWA conducted series of activities such as a presentation on Child Early and Forced Marriage, the provision of legal services and counseling to women, children and gender based violence survivors and engaging the media in publicizing the global event at national level.
The first National Award recognized TAMWA for its outstanding contribution to the awareness raising and prevention of Child Marriage and Female Genital Mutilation.
TAMWA also emerged an overall winner of awards provided in recognition of contributions towards awareness raising on gender equality and women empowerment.
