Kituo cha Sheria na Haki za Binadamu (LHRC) kimewasilisha kwa Tume ya Kurekebisha Sheria mapendekezo kuhusu maeneo mbalimbali ya sheria yanayohitaji maboresho ili kuimarisha upatikanaji wa haki na ulinzi wa haki za binadamu nchini Tanzania.

Miongoni mwa maeneo yaliyowasilishwa ni Njia Mbadala za Utatuzi wa Migogoro (ADR), haki za watu wenye ulemavu, ukatili wa kijinsia, pamoja na utekelezaji wa hukumu za mahak**a.

LHRC imesisitiza umuhimu wa kuboresha mifumo ya sheria na haki ili kuhakikisha wananchi wanapata haki kwa wakati, kwa gharama nafuu na kwa kuzingatia misingi ya usawa na haki.

Katika eneo la ADR, maboresho yanahitajika katika kuimarisha mifumo ya usuluhishi na njia nyingine mbadala za kutatua migogoro ili kupunguza mlundikano wa mashauri mahak**ani na kuwezesha wananchi kupata ufumbuzi wa migogoro yao kwa ufanisi.

Kuhusu watu wenye ulemavu, LHRC imewasilisha mapendekezo yanayolenga kuimarisha ulinzi wa haki zao na kuhakikisha sheria zinaendana na mahitaji halisi ya watu wenye ulemavu pamoja na misingi ya usawa.

Katika suala la ukatili wa kijinsia, LHRC imeainisha umuhimu wa kuwa na mifumo madhubuti ya kisheria na kiutendaji ya kuzuia ukatili na kuwalinda waathirika.

Mchakato huu unalenga kuchochea maboresho ya sheria na mifumo ya haki inayoweka upatikanaji wa haki na ulinzi wa haki za binadamu kwa wananchi katika msingi wa sheria.

LHRC iliongozwa na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji , Dkt. Anna Henga.

Miaka ya hivi karibuni tumeshuhudia watu wakishtakiwa kwa makosa ya ugaidi na uhaini.

Ripoti ya Haki za Binadamu Tanzania 2025, imebainisha zaidi ya watu 700 walishtakiwa, 80 wakiripotiwa kupotea, na siku 5 bila intaneti wakati wa uchaguzi na baada yake. Baadhi ya mtandao ikiwa imeziwa ikiwemo X

Hatupaswi kuendelea kutumia mashtaka kunyamazisha watu. Matukio haya yanakinzana na Katiba yetu ya nchi. Tunazitaka mamlaka ziilinde Katiba na kuheshimu sheria za nchi.

Ubalozi wa Norway ulitembelea LHRC kuona kazi tunazozifanya kila siku ikijumlisha utoaji msaada wa kisheria, utetezi wa haki za wanawake, mafunzo ya mawakili wasaidizi , na ulinzi wa nafasi za kiraia.

Walitembelea pia Kliniki yetu ya Msaada wa Kisheria Kinondoni, wakaona moja kwa moja jinsi wananchi wanavyopata haki yao.

Kwa sababu kila kesi ni sauti ya mtu anayetaka kusikilizwa.

Asante Ubalozi wa Norway kwa ushirikiano wa dhati katika kujenga Tanzania yenye haki na usawa kwa wote.

Wajasiriamali kutoka Dodoma, wanaoratibiwa na Equality for Growth, wametembelea Ofisi za LHRC Dodoma kujifunza kuhusu fursa na nafasi yao ya kushiriki katika utunzi, usimamizi na utekelezaji wa sheria hasa kwenye nyanja za haki za binadamu, biashara na masuala ya kijinsia.

Kwa pamoja wamejifunza namna ya kutoa maoni yao Bungeni na kufuatilia usimamizi wa haki mahak**ani.

Ujumbe mmoja muhimu waliondoka nao: Haki za biashara na haki za binadamu haziwezi kutenganishwa.

LHRC tunaendelea kujenga jamii yenye haki na usawa.

Ukatili wa kijinsia si jambo la faragha. Ni suala la haki za binadamu, na kuuzuia ni jukumu letu sote.

Tarehe 13 Agosti, mradi wetu wa Justice for Survivors (HAKI SHIELD) ulifika Kigogo na kufikia zaidi ya wananchi 50. Tulikuwa tumeongozana na polisi, afisa ustawi wa jamii, watumishi wa afya, mtaalamu wa saikolojia, viongozi wa dini, na mawakili wetu ambao hutia msaada wa kisheria bure .

Tulijadili hatua za kuchukua mara ukatili unapotokea, jinsi ya kuhifadhi vielelezo, na umuhimu wa kupata huduma za afya haraka. Tulizungumzia na kujadili dalili za hatari, ulinzi wa watoto nyumbani, na majeraha yasiyoonekana kwa macho, k**a vile hofu, msongo wa mawazo na upweke, ambayo manusura wa ukatili wa kijinsia hawapaswi kuyabeba peke yao.

Kuzuia ukatili wa kijinsia kunahitaji familia imara, jamii yenye uangalifu, na wadau wanaochukua hatua kwa wakati.

Tujenge jamii ambayo Watoto watakua salama, manusura wanapata msaada, na haki ya kila mmoja inalindwa.

GBV is not a private matter. It is a human rights issue, and preventing it is everyone's responsibility.

On 13 August, our Justice for Survivors project, HAKI SHIELD, brought that message to Kigogo, reaching more than 50 community members alongside police, a social welfare officer, healthcare officials, a clinical psychologist, religious leaders, and our own lawyers and paralegals.

We talked about what to do the moment GBV is reported, how to preserve evidence in cases of sexual violence, and why seeking medical care immediately matters. We talked about spotting warning signs before violence escalates. We talked about protecting children starting at home, through parents who listen, notice, and create space for their kids to speak up.

And we talked about the wounds no one sees. Fear, trauma, anxiety, isolation. A clinical psychologist reminded everyone that survivors don't have to carry that alone.

Children need protection, guidance, care, and someone they can trust. GBV should never be hidden, normalized, or tolerated.

Preventing GBV takes more than responding after it happens. It takes strong families, responsible parenting, vigilant communities, and duty bearers who act promptly.

Together, let us build communities where children are safe, survivors are supported, violence is reported, and every person's dignity and rights are protected.

Heri ya Siku ya Vijana Duniani

Vijana ni wadau muhimu katika kuchochea maendeleo na kujenga jamii yenye usawa, haki na ujumuishi.

Katika kuadhimisha siku hii, tunawapa vijana nafasi ya kushiriki na kutoa mitazamo yao kupitia mjadala wenye mada: “Vijana, Haki na Ujumuishi”, tukijadili pia hatua zinazohitajika kuimarisha ushiriki wa vijana katika mchakato wa utungaji wa sheria.

Mabadiliko ya kweli yanaanzia kwenye ushiriki. Sauti ya kijana ni sehemu ya mabadiliko tunayoyahitaji.
📍 Usipitwe. Fuatilia kurasa zetu za mitandao ya kijamii kwa taarifa na kiunganishi cha mjadala.
