Advancing Women’s Leadership, Rights and Economic Power through UN Women’s WLER Project in Tanzania [Video]

In Tanzania, women are still underrepresented in local government leadership and face significant economic challenges, including limited access to land, finance, and decision-making power. The UN Women project on Women’s Leadership and Economic Rights (WLER), funded by Finland, partners with local government authorities and cooperatives to support women to advocate for their rights, enhance their leadership and decision-making roles, and boost their economic empowerment.  This video highlights the work being done with women’s cooperatives, male champions, and school clubs in the Arusha region, showcasing how the WLER project is empowering women and girls to increase their involvement in local leadership and decision-making spaces.
