150 women MPs equipped with leadership skills and rights
OVER 150 women parliamentarians have been empowered with transformational leadership skills, women’s rights and gender equality principles.
The parliamentarians from across Tanzania attended the four-day training workshop in Dodoma organised by United Nations Women (UN Women) in partnership with the Tanzania Women’s Parliamentary Group (TWPG).
The training was part of the UN Women-led project on Women’ Leadership and Political Participation, “Wanawake Wanaweza” Phase II.
According to the TWPG Chair, Shally Raymond, the workshop aims to strengthen and equip current women MPs with further knowledge and skills to participate in parliamentary discussions and debates, and to effectively undertake their duties in advancing women’s rights and gender equality.
