Details

Art in Tanzania's Human Rights program focused on Children's and Women's Rights. We also have a Rights team consisting of our team members, private Tanzanian people such as lawyers, other rights-oriented citizens and participating interns and volunteers.

Practical work includes advocacy, partaking in seminars, teaching, and gaining more visibility. Rights issues are always sensitive matters, and teamwork and networking are essential.
