We are dedicated to empowering GYW economically and promoting educational justice for GYW to unleash their potential.

About us

We are an organization that works to empower girls and young women economically, promoting educational justice to eliminate gender inequalities and help girls and young women live to their full potential. We provide a safe space for girls to learn, speak, and share their thoughts and be held because we believe that girls have their voice and know what they want. This is through conferences and annual convening. We empower girls and young women economically so that they can have financial means and have the power and voice to make choices and decisions they want in their lives without being held in different gender inequalities because of their financial muscles. This is through providing vocational skills and financial skills. We promote educational justice to claim equal opportunities in education and break social norms that favor mostly boys in getting education opportunities. We also help teenage mothers get their rights to education and a supportive environment for them to get back to school without being held back from the responsibilities of taking care of babies and providing for their families and being stigmatized by their families and society in general. This is through building centers for keeping babies and providing vocational skills to teenage mothers on weekends. We also provide sexual reproductive education to youths for them to have the right information about their bodies and their lives so that they make the right decisions and choices in their lives.

    This week i spent time with some of girls in Dar es Salaam, we had a good time together learning from eachother, sharing what we have, connecting and discussing so many issues that concerns girls growth including); advocacy, activism and feminism deeping to help them define themselves better, reflecting on what they are doing and what they wish to do as girls with dreams. We discussed on how to access different opportunities for girls and your women’s development. This discussion is because for the past few months Women And Youth Movement (woyomo) established an online community for girls and young women to access opportunities and for past few months we have been doing a research on girls access to education and opportunities. I keep learning a lot from girls and young women, we know what we want and how we want, and at some point girls activist are doing a lot for them to thrive) my credit on this🙌🏽 Few recommendations from them are(; they need more mentorship sessions and they prefer 1:1 sessions and having a mentor to walk with along the way, they need more resources to support their ideas to come into lives, they need more support on accessing national and international opportunities that can help them to seat in decision making tables, they need community and family support on their movement/ activism. And they need to be trusted as they navigate and grow to be better version of themselves. Everyday is a learning opportunity and am loving it connecting, hearing what they have in mind and ofcuse as a big sister am proud of them as how I always insist to trust the process and believe on little steps they’re making because always “Progress is Progress” Cc Women And Youth Movement (woyomo)

  • Hii sio sawa kabisa. Hatuwezi kunyamaza kwa kuambiwa binti alikua anajiuza, hakuna tabia ya mtu inayohalalisha watu kumfanyia ukatili na unyama wa hali ya juu. Hapa tunaongelea haki za binadamu, Ubinadamu uhusike. Haki ipatikane kwaajili ya binti na watuhumiwa wahukumiwe kwa makosa waliyofanya na sio kuzidi kumhukumu binti ambae tayari kafanyiwa ukatili. Tuache victimization, tuache kuzidi kuvunja haki zake kama binadamu. Kumuita binti Kahaba tena mbele za vyombo vya habari ni UKATILI na kinyume cha sheria. Hatunyamazi tunataka haki itendeke. Hatuko salama mpaka haki itendeke. #justiceforbinti
