We volunteered and contributed financially towards our goals. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">At first we met in the living room of one of the founding members, the late Nelly Kidela. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Mark you it was after the UN Decade for Women and some of  us took part in some of the events before Nairobi conference or at end of UN decade Conference in Beijing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Therefore, the TAMWA we wanted was not inward looking. We focused on what was happening in the community at large. The vision was to have: A Peaceful Tanzanian society which respects human rights from a gender perspective.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Formed 36 years ago, the Association is still going strong. Currently there are more than 200 active members. Now TAMWA is a household name in playing its role in the fight for human rights through the media. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">For almost 10 years TAMWA lobbying led to enacting by the United Republic of Tanzania Parliament of: "The Sexual Offences Special Provisions Act of 1998" (SOPSA). The objective is to safeguard personal integrity, dignity, liberty and security </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">of women and children.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">TAMWA launched its own newsletter "Sauti ya Siti" that carried investigative stories written by both men and women journalists and researchers. As more people saw the impact: individuals, institutions, organisations and the Government supported TAMWA in its endeavor as it exposed or pointed at  human rights and gender abuse.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">In Zanzibar if a girl became pregnant she was imprisoned and denied going back to school under a Law  known as: "Sheria ya Wanawali ya mwaka 1985". (Wanamwali means virgins). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">With TAMWA efforts  and  lobbying, Her Excellency, President Dr Samia Suluhu Hasan, who was the then Minister responsible for Gender in Zanzibar, did what was necessary and the Act was repelled. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Sensitization through the media and lobbying was also done to support women who aspired for elective political posts. After such campaigns in collaboration with other stakeholders,  more women are in  political and leadership roles.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Lushoto plague was a threat in 1990. Unlike men many women and children died of plague. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">A study during a media campaign  launched by TAMWA showed that women and children slept on the floor hence became the target of  fleas from an infestation of rats in the area at that time. The suffering continued for a long time. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">When TAMWA held a press conference to reveal the outcomes of its study, the media coverage led everyone into action. After a few years of intervention; plague is now history in Lushoto.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">TAMWA was not alone. It was supported by the Government in many ways. All public institutions and stakeholders in the public and private  sector took appropriate steps when there was an issue raised by TAMWA. NGOs both local and foreign, institutions and leaders at different levels lended their support to the Association. In all these campaigns TAMWA used their pens and microphones to carryout investigative journalism on human rights abuse against women and children. What followed next after the the release of the report, was implemented by Governmental and non Governmental organs. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">So far the Association has implemented 145 projects that have touched so many lives in Tanzania.</span></p>

this afternoon.<br /><br />He was preaching during the first service at his popular church at the Dar es Salaam's Tanganyika Packers in Kawe, the service which was attended by hundreds and thousands of worshipers from within and outside the country.<br /><br />Commencing his preaching, the popular Cleric expressed that assorted of the country's prominent people, ranging from top politicians, Governments officials, sports players and artistes are regulary going to seek for his services, but undercover.<br /><br /><br /><a

them because I don't want to use such development to promote myself, " he said.<br /><br />Citing an example, he said the prominent socker striker, Fiston Mayele went secreatly to seek for prayers, but he didn't told anyone until when Mayele himself decided to post a picture publicly, that was when the issue went viral. <br /><br />"God called me to serve all, regardless of their political and religious affiliations, and this is what Lord need the clerics to do," he insisted.<br /><br />Moreover, during the service, the renowned Apostle, Boniface Bulldozer Mwamposa (BBM), insisted over the need for the people to learn on how to change their language on order to change their life.<br /><br />He expressed, majority of people are living in the shackles of diverse problems because they're speaking bad of themselves.<br /><br />"You must learn to speak good about yourself, speak the riches language even if you don't have even a coin in your pocket, "<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br

has said he will continue donating free Television Sets to various prisons across the country, saying he believes the move will in the near future result all prisons in the country to have no inmates. <br /><br />Last week, during his special crusade in Mtwara Region, which is part of his ongoing spiritual campaign, dubbed Kiswahili 'Washa Taa Kila Mkoa' (Put the Light On in Every Region) Apostle Mwamposa through his Arise and Shine Ministry donated at least five modern Television Sets at a major prison on the region.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a
