Mratibu wetu wa ofisi ya TAWLA kanda ya kati, Dodoma, Wakili Neema Ahmed alipata wasaa wa kuongelea jinsi kumuwezesha mwanamke kujiinua kiuchumi inavyochangia kumkinga mwanamke dhidi ya ukatili wa kinjisia. Wakili Neema pia alitoa elimu ya kuandika na kuhifadhi wosia kama nyenzo ya kuepuka migogoro ya ardhi ambayo wahanga wakubwa wamekuwa wanawake na watoto. @WeEffectEA #IWD2024 #SikuYaWanawakeDuniani2024 #HakiHainaJinsia

We have tried and we managed to make farmers love and start investing their efforts in farming sunflowers --- It is high time now we ask and call upon the authorities to back up the farmer's efforts for future endeavors. Thank you @WeEffectEA @EU_Partnerships @FFP_AgriCord
