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.
