Are you a feminist organizer, activist, movement builder, community leader, digital rights advocate, or someone passionate about social justice and collective action?

Join us for a cross-border learning circle bringing together organizers from Kenya and Tanzania to explore what it means to organize, resist, and sustain feminist work in increasingly restrictive contexts. Together, we will reflect on shrinking civic spaces, digital risks, burnout, movement sustainability, collective care, and the strategies that keep our movements alive beyond projects and funding cycles.

Come learn from fellow organizers, share your experiences, build solidarity across borders.

Date: 11 June
Format: Virtual- Zoom

Looking forward to learning and connecting with you 🌸

That’s the energy that closed Day 2 of the National Forum for Reproductive Justice in Dar es Salaam.

More than 55 actors from across Tanzania, representing diverse movements and constituencies, came together to affirm a Reproductive rights and bodily autonomy as a central pillar of reproductive justice. Together, we took a historic step toward institutionalizing the Forum by co-creating a shared agenda, governance and leadership structures, and a collective action plan for the future.

The journey continues. Now, our focus turns to translating these commitments into action and impact.

We look forward to implementing the Forum’s outcomes—and we need your solidarity, partnership, and support to make it happen.

This is not the end of a forum—it is the beginning of a stronger, more united movement for reproductive justice in Tanzania. Together, we are stronger.”

ESSENTIAL, NOT OPTIONAL

In a time of growing social, economic, and health challenges, reproductive health rights and wellbeing cannot be left behind.

Feminists, community organizers, young people, disability inclusion advocates, PLHIV networks, health practitioners, and reproductive justice actors from across Tanzania are coming together to share experiences, strengthen collaboration, and promote rights, dignity, wellbeing, and equitable access to SRHR information and services for all.

The 2nd National Forum on Reproductive Justice in Tanzania is a space for dialogue, solidarity, learning, and collective reflection on how to strengthen access to right-based quality sexual and reproductive health information and services within supportive and respectful communities.
Because health, dignity, and access to SRHR information and services are not optional, but essential, for the wellbeing and development of our communities.

✊🏾 Our health matters. Human dignity matters. Strong communities are built through inclusion, care, and shared responsibility.

Sustainable financing is about more than access to resources. It is also about equity,trust, and creating the conditions that allow youth-led organisations to thrive over
the long term.

We are pleased to share that WOYOMO has been selected to join the 2026 YIELD Hub Action Learning Group under the theme: Sustainable Financing for Youth-Led Organisations: Strengthening Equity, Trust, and Long-Term Resilience in Youth Partnership for SRHR.

We look forward to learning alongside peers from different contexts, exchanging experiences, and contributing to conversations on building stronger and more resilient financing ecosystems.

This week, we were invited by Emily Burns, Ambassador of Canada to Tanzania, to attend the Bfree event, which focuses on improving Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) for women and girls across Tanzania.
The event highlighted innovative solutions such as Bfree menstrual cups, which are eco-friendly, anti-microbial, reusable for up to 10 years, and designed to provide women with safe and sustainable menstrual care.

As an organization working in menstrual justice, it was inspiring to see how technology, advocacy, and women-led initiatives come together to create products and programs that directly improve women’s lives.

We are happy to have been part of such a meaningful space that brought together different stakeholders working on diverse initiatives to ensure women and girls have safer, healthier, and more dignified menstrual experiences

Did you know? The main reasons girls in Tanzania miss school during menstruation include pain and discomfort (74%), lack of menstrual materials (42%), fear of embarrassment from visible stains (34%), lack of changing rooms (34%), and lack of clean and suitable toilet facilities (26%).

This data reminds us that menstruation is not just a private issue. It affects girls’ education, confidence, dignity, and ability to participate fully in school and community life.

That is why we are building Msichana Juu, a movement for menstrual justice that will challenge stigma, strengthen body literacy, and create supportive systems for girls and young women.

GIRLS BELONG IN SCHOOL.

When a girl stays in school, she is more likely to grow in confidence, build knowledge, delay early risks, and shape her own future. But too many girls in Tanzania are still being pushed out. UNICEF says 3.2 million children aged 7–17 are out of school in Tanzania, and rural and poor girls are among the most affected, with dropout increasing from around age 12 due to barriers like menstruation, child marriage, and weak support systems.

When girls leave school, they face greater risk of early marriage, unintended pregnancy, economic dependence, and exclusion from opportunities that could change their lives. UNESCO notes that in Tanzania girls often drop out during the transition to secondary school because of adolescent pregnancy, early marriage, lack of family support, and unconducive learning environments.

Keeping girls in school is not just about education. It is about dignity, protection, leadership, and justice.
Let girls learn. Let girls lead. Let girls stay in school.

Menstruation is natural, but for too many girls in Tanzania it is still shaped by silence, shame, stigma, and limited support. Too many girls miss school, struggle to manage their periods with dignity, and grow up without the information, confidence, and safe spaces they need.

That is why WOYOMO, in partnership with Kesho Yetu Initiative (KEY), is building the Msichana Juu Movement — a collective movement for menstrual justice in Tanzania.

We are inviting youth-led nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and community-based groups to join us in building a movement.

If your organization is working on menstrual justice or is interested in this work — we invite you to join us.

Powering change with WGNRR Africa!

Through the YouLead Social Action Project, we are breaking silence, challenging harmful norms, and centering the voices of adolescents and young people, especially girls and young women.

Together, we are building bold, safe spaces where they can access accurate sexual and reproductive health information, claim essential services, and make informed choices about their bodies and futures.

This is what solidarity looks like: shifting power, expanding choice, and standing for dignity, agency, and the right of every young person to thrive, on their own terms. ✊🏽
