For long in the history of mankind, women have always been marginalised and regarded inferior to men. This assumption is a fallacy as time and time again, it has been proved to be unreservedly untrue. When given the opportunity, women have always taken it and proved that this assertion is nothing but a myth. For instance, Edith Wharton who was born in a time when women were expected to do nothing other than marry and have children. Despite all this, she managed to win the Pulitzeri for her novel ‘The Age of Innocence’ in 1921.ii
In Tanzania, and all over the world, women empowerment is a major global movement goal and several efforts have been adopted and empathised to achieve this goal. This has been done mostly through enactment of laws and policies inclined towards protecting and empowering women.
The government in Tanzania has enacted laws and policies protecting women from violence, signing and ratifying international instruments in support of eradicating domestic violence.
Other efforts include recognition and awarding of women’s contributions in society for instance, Tanzania annually celebrates ‘Malaika wa Nguvu’ which is Swahili for ‘Mighty Queens’ an award which seeks to recognise resilient visionary women of character from all walks of life who surmount challenges in life to instigate and rouse other women and the society at large.iii
