IMPORTANT NOTICE by @cwhrdstz

We are proud to share that the Coalition for Women Human Rights Defenders Tanzania (CWHRDs TZ), in collaboration with our members, has successfully developed and submitted multiple reports with SRHR Thematic Areas to the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) - 4th Circle .

This achievement reflects a collective effort beyond our own work, we empowered our member organizations to actively contribute, enabling us to cover a wide range of critical thematic areas that directly impact the lives of women and girls.

The submissions address key human rights issues including access to quality Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (SRHR), stigma and discrimination, Gender-Based Violence and violence against children, as well as SRHR education, teenage pregnancy, and child marriage.

These reports play a vital role in ensuring that the realities, challenges, and voices of Women Human Rights Defenders and the communities they serve are represented at the national and global level. They contribute to influencing policies, laws, and systems toward greater accountability, equity, and protection of human rights.

Together, we continue to strengthen advocacy, amplify voices, and drive meaningful and lasting change.

Stigma and discrimination remain significant barriers to accessing essential Sexual and Reproductive Health services.

Through this joint submission with our members, we shine a light on how harmful attitudes, social norms, and systemic inequalities continue to deny women, girls, and marginalized groups their fundamental rights.

Addressing stigma is not optional it is essential for ensuring equitable, accessible, and respectful healthcare for all.

By empowering our member organizations to document and submit these findings, we strengthen evidence-based advocacy and push for inclusive systems that leave no one behind.

Mwezi wa tisa na wa kumi tumepoteza wanawake wengi kwa sababu ya ukatili. Aibu kwetu sote!

Tumepoteza binadamu. Tumepoteza maisha yenye ndoto, matumaini na mustakabali. Tumeshindwa kuwalinda wanawake na kuhakikisha wanakuwa salama katika jamii zetu.

Ni wakati wa kuacha ukimya, kuacha kuhalalisha ukatili na kuchukua hatua za kweli. Wanawake wanastahili kuishi, si kuishi kwa hofu.

Leo tunapaza sauti na kusema:

TUMECHUKIZWA!
TUNA HUZUNI!
TUNADAI HAKI NA USALAMA WETU!

Hatutaki kuendelea kuomboleza wanawake ambao wangeweza kuwa hai leo. Tunataka hatua, uwajibikaji, haki na mifumo inayolinda maisha ya wanawake.

Usalama wa wanawake si jukumu la wanawake pekee. Ni wajibu wetu sote.

SHAME ON US! TUMECHUKUA MUDA MREFU SANA KUSHUGHULIKIA UKATILI HUU.

CWHRDs TZ ikiungana na watazania wengine kuwaakumbuka wahanga wa vurugu za uchaguzi za October 2025. Siku ya tarehe 29 baadhi ya wanachama wa Mtandao wa Wanawake Watetezi wa Haki za Binadamu Tanzania tulikaa chini pamoja kukumbuka waliopoteza maisha katika Vurugu za Uchaguzo wa Mwaka 2025. Tukio hili likiambatana na tukio la kuponya majeraha na kuanggalia namna ya kujiandaa kwenye nyakati za vurugu kupunguza hatari zaidi wakati wa kutetea haki za binadamu nchini Wanawake Watetezi wa Tanzania wamejikuta kwenye hatari zaidi kwa kuwa matukio ya namna hii hayakuwahi kutokea nchini Tanzania.

Kama tutakumbuka kuwa Mnamo Tarehe 29 mpaka 30 Mwezi wa October 2025, nchi ya Tanzania ilipoteza watanzania zaidi ya 518 waalio uwawa kutokana na Vurugu za Uchaguzi kwa madai ya kupigania haki na uchaguzi wa haki na usawa.

Mtandao na wanachama wake tutaendelea kuwakumbuka wote waliopoteza maisha kwa akupigania haki na wote waliouwawa bila hatia kutokana na vurugu za uchaguzi huo.

Mungu akaendelee kuwapa farajja familia zilizopoteza ndugu na watu wote waliopata vilema kutokana na vurugu. by @cwhrdstz

UNATAKA MWANAMKE BORA. JE, WEWE NI MWENZI BORA?

Unataka upendo, uaminifu, heshima na utulivu katika mahusiano. Lakini je, nawe unatoa mambo hayo?

Kuna tofauti kubwa kati ya kuwa na matarajio ya kupata mwenzi bora na kutaka kupokea kila kitu bila kuwajibika.

Unataka mwanamke akujali, akusikilize, akuheshimu na akuelewe. Lakini anapohitaji mambo hayo kutoka kwako, unamwona kama mtu mwenye madai mengi.

Anapokuambia umemuumiza, unasema analalamika. Anapokuomba uwajibike, unasema anakushambulia. Anapoweka mipaka, unasema hakuheshimu.

Huo si msingi wa mahusiano yenye afya.

Mwanamke si mlezi wako, wala si jukumu lake kubeba mzigo wote wa kihisia huku wewe ukikwepa wajibu wako.

Mahusiano yenye afya hayajengwi kwa mtu mmoja kujitoa kila kitu na mwingine kupokea tu.

Yanahitaji watu wawili wanaoheshimiana, wanaowasiliana kwa uwazi, wanaojali hisia za kila mmoja na wanaokubali kuwajibika wanapokosea.

Kuwa na matarajio katika mahusiano si tatizo. Tatizo ni kudai mambo ambayo wewe mwenyewe hauko tayari kuyatoa.

Na tukumbuke, tabia hizi si za wanaume wote, wala si wanaume pekee wanaoweza kuzifanya. Lakini tunapoziona, tunapaswa kuzikosoa bila kuzipa visingizio.

Upendo si wa kudai tu. Ni wa kujenga pamoja.

💬 Swali kwako: Je, inawezekana kujenga mahusiano yenye afya bila kuheshimiana na kuwajibika kwa matendo yetu?

UANAUME SI UKATILI

Kumtesa mwanamke hakukuongezei nguvu wala heshima. Linda thamani yako kwa kuheshimu thamani ya mwanamke, uhai na ubinadamu.

Pinga na komesha mauaji ya wanawake Tanzania.

Mauaji ya wanawake yameongezeka, sisi wanawake tumekataa kushuhudia wanawake wenzetu kuendelea kufa.

Tumesimama kudai haki kwaajili yao, siku ya leo tumeitisha mkutano wa waandishi wa habari kusema kwa nguvu ya pamoja jinsi tunachukizwa na mauaji ya wanawake nchini.

Tunadai ulinzi na usalama wa wanawake kwani hatuko salama mpaka wote tuwe salama.

Tunapaza sauti na kusema - TUMECHUKIZWA, TUNA HUZUNI na TUNADAI HAKI na USALAMA wetu.

Tunaendelea kusikitishwa na matukio ya mauaji ya wanawake kwa kisingizio cha mapenzi.

Tunawaasa Wanawake wanapoona kuna viashiria vya ukatili uliopitiliza kuchukua hatua zaidi.

"Ninadhani hatujafanikiwa kuupangua mfumo dume maana tunaendelea kuulea ndiyo maana wanaume wanazidi kujiona wanachotaka wao ndiyo kiwe kama mwanamke ameamua kuwa na mtu mwingine wewe si usepe zako. Mbona wanaume wanakuwa na nyumba ndogo nyingi tu na hawauwawi wao wanaona ni sawa hawajui maumivu ya kusalitiwa hayatofautiani wanawake wana mioyo kama hiyo yao na watu utasikia wanamlaumu mdada "sasa kwa nini na yeye akawa na mtu mwingine au mbona hakuondoka" kwa nini yeye aondoke msiseme huyo mkatili ndiye aondoshwe" Helleni Kijo Bisimba
