Tanzania: Woman wants new constitution to protect men against gender violence

Article here. Excerpt:

'Two out of five gender based violence (GBV) victims are men, hence the need to have a clause that protects them in the new Constitution like it does to women.

The proposal was made recently at a meeting to review Tanzania’s constitution held in Rombo district organised by a non governmental organisation called AJIMARO.

A participant, Anjela Mwapachu, said most men in Tanzania are victims of domestic violence.

However, she continued to say, they hide the truth since there is no article in the Constitution that gives them their rights as men.

Mwapachu said now, it is the right time for male to claim for their rights to be identified in the new Constitution.'
