IANGEL Board Member and Director of the Landesa Center for Women’s Land Rights, Tzili Mor, discusses the impact of the case that two Tanzanian widows brought before the UN.
“The women ultimately took their case to the United Nations (UN), where they have now struck a historic victory for equality for millions of women around the world. Tanzania is a party to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and its protocol. That allowed the two women to take their complaint to the committee that oversees states’ compliance with the treaty’s implementation.” – T. Mor, 2015
