Compassionate Helping Hands

Women and girls rights monitoring is a unique program designed to instantly track and respond to incidents of Women and rights violation. The program encompasses systematic tracking, documenting and responding to violations through well-defined methodologies:

​

• Compassionate Helping Hands intends to work closely with trained human rights monitors and paralegals in different regions of Tanzania mainland. Paralegals and human rights monitors double as major informers of rights violation and messengers during issues follow up.

​​

• After receiving incidents of Women and girls rights violation, Compassionate Helping Hands analyses and identify issues for advocacy and plot for redress to the victims.

​​

• The program provides for both direct and indirect redress to the victims of rights violation. The Centre establishes networks for referral, linkages and engagement to address issues of Women and girls rights violations with various state agents and departments e.g. police force and immigration.

​​

• Compassionate Helping Hands goes further to solicit and organize consultation sessions with identified duty bearers and stakeholders to present issues that need their attention.

​​

• In addition, Compassionate Helping Hands under this program will establish and oversees the wellbeing of Women and girls rights clubs in Tanzania mainland.

According to a report by the UN, empowering women in the spheres of economics, education, human rights, and politics has significant advantages. For example, faster economic growth occurs when more women enter into the labour force and earn as much as men. When women contribute to household income and spending changes, it has many benefits for the children. Families are able to sustainably lift themselves from poverty and contribute meaningfully to their families and the economy but this has not been easy without educating the community on equal rights between men and women, particularly in the communities where women have inferior position.
