Naseriani Umri loves school, but lack of money & transport prevented her father from taking her to a school 25km away. Luckily for Naseriani, the Productive Social Safety Net (PSSN) programme was introduced to her village & provides her with a small monthly student grant.

FGM is an act of violence & is rooted in gender inequality.

@UnitedNationsTZ will continue working with Govt, communities, traditional leaders & all to change behaviours & social norms that perpetuate #FGM.

Let's empower girls & communities to say no to this harmful practice.

[Ambassador Tone Tinnes @NorAmbTZ]

We cannot tolerate that millions of girls are suffering #FGM every year. This is a #humanrights violation and hampers development for communities. Ending FGM is of direct interest to boys and men, and they must be included in the process. #EndFGM @UNFPATanzania @wizara_elimuTz

[Sima Bahous @unwomenchief]

Gender inequality coupled with climate crises are the greatest sustainable development challenges of our time.

I met with Commissioner @VSinkevicius to discuss how we can engage on these issues ahead of #CSW66 and #COP15 @UN Convention on Biological Diversity. @UNBiodiversity

[UN Youth Office @UNYouthAffairs]

At this very moment:

💔 Girls are still at risk
💔 Girls are still forced into marriage
💔 Girls are still undergoing female genital mutilation (#FGM)

I'm joining @UNFPA in calling the world to #EndFGM and #EndChildMarriage!

[UNFPA Tanzania @UNFPATanzania]

National statistics show that prevalence of FGM in Tanzania stands at 10 percent, an indication that there is an uphill task to eliminate the malpractice,citing Manyara,Dodoma, Arusha,Mara & Singida as regions with leading incidences of FGM.

No woman/girl should ever worry about missing school because they can't afford Sanitary products. Yet that is the situation in most of our African Countries.
Lets all work together to end #PeriodPoverty. Affordable & Accessible sanitary products for all.
